I was basing my assumptions on a cast iron block, original mini. I forgot the MINI has an aluminum block.

With the bottom end noises, oil all over the plugs and no loss of radiator fluid, its pretty clear.
Admittedly I have not done a leak down, but unfortunately this is not my first motor loss in life..
Anywho, the question is more who can help as I am just too short on time to do it myself

More likely a gasket or warped head problem, rather than a "blown motor".

Hey All;
We have a 04 R53 that has lost its motor. (no compression in cyl 2). Presently the car has a ported head and schrick cam. We use the car for HPDE's primarily.
I see a ton of stock replacement long blocks for sale, but I don't see anything that is modified for track use.
I'd love to find someone in the North East as that is where I am from, but I am open to finding a motor and having it shipped.
Any advice as to who is building street gas, but modified motors with success on reliability and performance?
Thanks!
