Engine Tappet Cover for MINI Cooper R56/R60 N14 (2008–2012) – Aftermarket

Restore your MINI Cooper’s performance and reliability with our high-quality Aftermarket Engine Tappet Cover, specifically designed for the N14 engine found in MINI Cooper R56 and R60 models from 2008 to 2012. This essential part, also known as the valve cover, is critical for maintaining proper engine sealing, oil containment, and crankcase ventilation-functions that are especially important for the turbocharged N14 engine.

Perfect Fit and Compatibility
Our aftermarket engine tappet cover is engineered to match the original specifications of the MINI Cooper S R56 and R60 models, ensuring a precise fit for vehicles manufactured between 2008 and 2012. It is compatible with all MINI Cooper S and John Cooper Works (JCW) variants equipped with the N14 1.6L turbocharged engine, including hatchbacks, Clubman, and Countryman models. The cover comes complete with a gasket, oil cap, and spark plug tube seals, so you have everything needed for a thorough installation.

Why Replace the Tappet (Valve) Cover?
Over time, the plastic valve cover on the N14 engine can become brittle, leading to cracks, oil leaks, or PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) system failure. A faulty valve cover can cause oil leaks, increased oil consumption, and even engine misfires due to oil seeping into the spark plug wells. The N14’s integrated PCV system is known for its limited lifespan, and a failing cover can also result in crankcase overpressure, risking further engine damage. Replacing the tappet cover is a straightforward job that can prevent these issues and restore your MINI’s smooth operation.

Advanced Design for Modern Engines
Unlike older vehicles, the MINI N14 tappet cover does more than simply seal the cylinder head. It houses the crankcase breather outlet, oil separation system, pressure relief valve, and even provides electromagnetic shielding for the ignition coils. The N14 engine’s turbocharged design places extra demands on the cover, making quality and fitment especially important. Our aftermarket solution matches OEM design and materials, ensuring durability and long service life.
