Sure is.
POS has only done 50k (allegedly).
But, you can't run around in it with a crank out of time position with cam-gears because the pistons will be kissing the valves pretty soon.
New engine would be 5k on a car worth 9k on autotrader. So its got to be done & worth doing.
Edited.....( I was too quick off the block no pun intended)
The engine is a non contact engine unless its a Diesel, What year is it & engine is in it.

+1.Looked at the first hit (the tube).
Come on @DanClarke it only took him 6 mins
Oh plus the day to get the engine out
It also seemed that the crankshaft sprocket was basically held in place with clamping force only, or did I miss a locating dowel/key.might have to watch again.
The only thing I liked was lifting the whole lot out in a oner
I fink Dans got better things to do with his time TBH

All the e-bay parts are like "BritPart" of questionable parentage.
The parts for the offered service are OEM from BadlyMotorWerken and are probably £400+ of the requested 950+VAT.
While I maybe "could" do it. If I phucked it up I would have no-one to get redress from. So best left to people that do this fairly often.
The people concerned did say that on the newer MINI Countryman, they won't undertake this work because there are 2 chains (not just one) and they are not in an accessible place and it means a complete engine-out operation.

You can get a fancy connector that goes onto a down pipe that stops putting watter in once it gets to a certain height.
Our watter company more or less gave us a big watter butt and a connector for it. Piece of pistachio to fit.
Only stopped using the butt cos the tap thing went fubar.
And we stopped being in the UK during the summer.
Over here we have a 3000 litre undergound tank that is filled from the downpipes. Fitted when the house was built.
Needs a "Hippo" pump!!!!!!!
(You're all going to say I only told you about this to get that in!!!!!!)
So am wonderin how else you fill your butt.
(Can I say that on 'ere?!
)Feck I'm on fire tonight!!!
Better jump in the tank!!
