My starter refuses to work after heatup of the engine.... This is after replacing piston rings. Mech says the engine is still running stiff? What's your view @gazzuzz?
Nb
It gets so hot and the battery negative terminal too.

what size of piston rings did you buy? We're they over size? Did mechanic file them? If yes there's not much you can do than wait for friction to take its place.

Yes it was filed a bit. 0.10. so after the friction the starter motor will function well?

most likely fried the starter motor, consequences of forcing the starter motor to do more than what it is meant to do.

Dear Gazzuz....thanks for your assistance thus far....the Hyundai Elantra 08 is an interference engine and also uses a timimg belt...that scares me...cos any snap of the belts,the engine is destroyed.

Reduce compression, lubricate piston walls.

Had same issue with my BMW. I changed the fuel pump and gbam, issue resolved. You just need to get the right pump that's working well. Sometimes too, the fuel sending unit could be the issue but it's rare.

Thanks a lot.. your input is highly appreciated.. working on it

replace your fuel pump ASSY. The sender and fuel pressure regulator with brand new unit.

Boss,
My 08 Honda accord engine broke down few days ago, it won't start anymore. Towed it to my mechanic's workshop and after working on the engine he said I'd have to buy a new engine because the crankshaft and the crane shaft are already bad. (don't know what this means though). Earlier today someone suggested rebuilding it instead of going for a new one. Please what can you advise I do?. (Location = Akure)

Rebuild it! If you can get a Mech that is good enough. I can assist with guidelines. I just rebuilt a honda engine. What's the problem with the crankshaft? I suspect half-truths from your Mech. Thanks again to Gazzuzz for the encouragement to rebuild my engine.... Luvinhubby... Ironheart and co. It was a very exciting endeavour.

With new ones? Engine purchase is mostly black market. In rebuild you know what exactly you are putting together.

You are still in the test phase. Cover 5,000km first before you start praising ur mechanic.

typical african mentality!

Replace timing belt every 70,000km along with tensioner and car will never snap a timing belt

It will take you about 4years to cover 70,000km.

You should find a good workshop in Akure to do that for you, your next option would be to get one from Lagos and that will be expensive for you.
