Hi I just had a discussion with a mechanic regarding mini/ Peugeot cylinder heads. He tells me that they can be problematic when changing a head gasket as they can crack when torquing them back down and you will know nothing about it until the car is running again.
Is there a work around so to speak to minimise the likelihood of cracking it?
One garage who constantly does these repairs thinks there is an issue with the heads made by Peugeot,and you have to sign a disclaimer if they do the work as head cracking is a chance even after all the costs involved.
Be interested to hear any others thoughts,best practice to replacing one.
I'm in the process of the same job now and timing chain while it's all apart. Mine is a gen 2 r56 N12 engine.👍
