We do replace engines here too and there are many companies bringing in used engines from Japan especially.

Most of the times, the engines that I have replaced have been to get a better JDM or GDM engine that has more power.

Is replacing an engine cheaper and faster> Of course but the customer needs to be given a chance to make a decision.

What I see here is a "we only replace engine" mantra.

This is not good for customer service.

GAZZUZZ:


We only have happy customers is also good too.

with the level of damage, what do you think will be the average repair cost?

If you have time and mony for a complete teardown then by all means go ahead... But I seriously doubt if you can remove the gunk from all nooks, crevices and passageways. Abi u wan use laser?

Inception:



sludge buildup. Best solution is a complete dissaambly of top cylinder and possibly soak top block ( for hours) in a dissolving agent(solvent). There are are proven solvents in the market that can achieve this( can't remember any for now). Very important to take note of oil passages. Valve shims to be inspected, cam lobes to be inspected, journal bearings to be inspected. Camshaft to be inspected.

This can be repairable to factory specs with the right tools and expertise, religiously following repair manual for tolerances.

No rebuilding for this engine. Such an engine should be replaced, if possible replace person in charge of its maintenance too

radautoworks:


Actually, previously mentioned machine will de-gunk it in 45 mins



Exactly what I'm talking about. We use it for trannies too. It takes solvent and steam and in 45 minutes, it looks like a rapper's brand new grill.

My engine and transmission like this one Gazzuzz bought with warranty is less than 150k why bother with the rebuilding brouhaha...

Readonee35L:

I'm curious about this Transformation 1000 Machine you've been talking about

radautoworks:


Because it's not just about price. Like a couple of people said, when done right you pretty much have a new engine.

Plus he started it! points at Gazzuzz

Goalpost changed or not....

The size of engine and ultimate cost of such an engine, would be the main factor considered in either a rebuild or replacement.

If a Toyota Yaris is towed into my workshop, I would give an invoice for a replacement engine immediately. Fiddling with that size of engine when I am not going to increase the bores, fit in sport pistons and a turbo isn't worth it to. Secondly, clients with the desire for a rebuild in this case are trying to cut costs and essentially would not afford the cost of genuine new parts for said engine....

The cost of a V8 engine of same cleaness will buy a used car of same model most times.....

So a rebuild is preferred.

Madam no offeinse... Time to get a qualified technician, queue on his roll call, then hope and pray he gets it right...then pay a huge sum with my heart in my mouth while taking the car away....

Haba no way....just buy a replacement engine fix and drive away with a bootload of spare parts from the condemned engine... Win-win situation... With a two to three weeks warranty... From the seller

The last major work I did was on my MR2.

It developed a water leak in the cylinder head near a spark plug hole. It was completely drivable but when water had an opportunity to pool in their then it will cause a misfire which will go away as soon as the water evaporated.

Anyways, instead of swapping the engine, I simply removed the head and exchanged it at a machine shop or online (I forgot) and reinstalled it.

So guys, if the same thing happened in Nigeria, would you swap engines or just change the head?

PS: The engine had 285,000 miles on it and was sold at over 300,000 miles.

This engine nah ancestor, it will get an aluminum weld in the machine shop and go back to business

Not my fault. My day is barely starting. As I write it is just 7pm. Plus this baby doesn't seem to understand world cup is over.

baby is bursting a shaku shaku move..... like Mama like .....
