Good Morning, I'm new to this forum and have only had my mini for months six months. Love the little Mini, but found a mess with the timing guide rails and replacing all timing parts. The locking tool I ordered is not the correct one. If you have one, near the Seattle area that you would loan out, please let me know ASAP. I have a 2010 R57 JCW. I ordered the correct version, but shipping takes time and I would finish the job if I could find the right tool.

Thanks!!

 

man I am just north of you across the 49th. I’ve got a new timing lock setup I’d sell but how to get it to you right now?

 

I ended up ordering one from amazon. Worked great. I've finished installing the new timing parts, and all went well. The old guides were a mess, leaving parts in my oil pan. I've spent the day trying to get my exhaust moved to reach one lone bolt on my oil pan. No luck. Any ideas?
