SneedSpeed MINI Cooper N12–N18 Engine Crankshaft — Precision-Built Bottom-End Reliability
The foundation of a reliable MINI Cooper engine starts with the crankshaft.
The SneedSpeed MINI Cooper N-Series Engine Crankshaft is designed for engine rebuilds and bottom-end repairs on MINI Cooper engines equipped with the N12, N14, N16, and N18 engine platforms.
Whether you're restoring a high-mileage daily driver, rebuilding a turbocharged Cooper S, or assembling a performance engine, the crankshaft is one of the most critical components in the rotating assembly.
Built for Engine Rebuilders
A crankshaft converts the pistons' reciprocating motion into rotational power. Proper journal dimensions, bearing clearances, and rotating assembly balance are essential to maintaining oil-film integrity, minimizing vibration, and supporting long-term engine reliability.
SneedSpeed brings decades of MINI Cooper engine-building experience to the parts we offer, helping professional engine builders and enthusiasts select dependable components for their rebuilds.
