How To Know Good Engine by SANCTO: 11:27am On Dec 30, 2014 |
My ever dynamic nlanders. I really want to take the bull by the horn this time around. I have mazda 626 (aka mazda boot) which i really love. I have changed the engine of this car once but the mechanic i went with sort of shortchanged me; hence i ended up not buying good one. This time around, i want to go to buy another engine without being accompanied by any mechanic. What are the things am supposed to check to confirm that the engine is good.Nairaland auto professors Ur candid advise is urgently needed on this. |

Go with a friend that knows about used engines or just pay ur mechanic upfront for selecting a good engine for you, nothing beats experience. 1 Like |

Would suggest you follow these procedures before buying; Write down, detailed information about your vehicle narrow it down to VIN, when you get to the shop ask for the mileage on the engine, you can allow them do an auto history check on the engine, or ask for the engine history report, ask for major faults on the engine especially if it was Accidented, also ask if it's a V4 or V6 engine, find out if the Auto shop has Waranty on the engine. 1 Like |

And "emeka" in ladipo will know what you are talking about? [img]http://smileyshack.files./2010/12/smileyslaughing_lol_died_100-101.gif?w=42&h=42[/img] 3 Likes |

AutosBay: Mileage of tokunbo engine in Nigeria? Auto history check on tokunbo engine? Any faults on tokunbo engine? Dude when will u get real? I know some tokunbo engines have mileage tag on them (only very few and it is easy for dealers to just change the tag. Also u want engine history for an old mazda 626?). The only way to know a good tokunbo engine is by physical inspection, check the color or the oil inside and turn the engine to see if it still got pressure so u still need someone with experience to go with u. Most importantly PRAY luck is on ur side. Mount the engine as soon as possible because boys in ladipo will not give u more than 1 week warranty. |
