Changed gasket of my Infiniti vq35de engine and it went off again on my first cross country Trip, do you reckon I change engines or is it something I should fix again? It's aluminium head and aluminium block

radautoworks:


What was wrong in the first place? A lot of times here they don't get the right seals.

amywonda:
over heated and bent crank shaft, engine was over hauled ... cylinder head was machined, rings changed, crank as well...all was good within delta state where the work was done until i drove down to Lagos and over heated around ijebu ... waited for it to cool added water and drive to lagos, hiever after that intermittent over heating when i drive hard until now it overt heats every time... checks the oil and is mixed with water.. gasket gone again

Met an engine we took a hard pass on. Felt bad for customer. Borrowed vehicle from friend for a week and just his luck valve broke in engine! Taking it apart it was obvious it wasn't his fault so advised him not to take it upon himself to repair it and try to get owner to bear some, if not all of the cost. There second and third pictures were after the tech had already removed some sludge trying to see.

If you're curious, it was a Ford edge... The 6th one this week...

sultaan:
Owner was not using the right oil and not changing at right interval

The famous Nigerian oil 20w50

Some cars can't with that abuse.

Only brand that can is Toyota. The engines are rugged

Funny enough a customer was debating on ford edge 08 to 11. She stated that she likes the shape of the edge and I should look for one for her ... she came two weeks later saying she does not want the edge anymore ,that it is Honda CRV ... I said why now , she said she was told by people that ford edge dey give problems ..And she does not want car that gives problem... I said to her people that are saying that are the ones that can't maintain cars.. I said to her American cars are pretty rugged and strong cars. But only issue is that they are not attractive looking and are GAS GUZZLERS ...But over all they are rugged for Nigeria road ... I plain to buy one for personal use ,am thinking either ford edge or xc90 ....

It's a only a matter of laugh now, cry later

radautoworks:
On another note, can anyone tell me why they seem to have sworn for us with Ford edge and range Rover??

9icetoo:

You are getting what no other mechanism will touch. A quote of 6 hour work on a Range Rover will surprisingly turn to 18 hours by the time you start undoing the damage already inflicted on it. Same with ford.
And as soon as you fix one, they tell the others that there is one shop like in Kelli that can take their sorrows away.
Then boom, they start pouring in. Keep up the good work.

sultaan:
A local bump stop

radautoworks:
Cheezus! Just when I thought I had seen everything... NIGERIA WE HAIL THEE!!


As soon as I saw this, I ran to call the owner and the two of us just started laughing because it was better than crying.

You are surprised? I'm not.

Borrowed one ride from an uncle... Its legs were behaving funny on the road... Drove it to mechanic shop to check what was amis...

The brake pads had worn out... Rather than replace them, uncle used folded carton to provide better "cushion" for the worn brake pads against the wheels.

He was mechanic apprentice before so he obviously did it himself
