Not all mechanics can successfully change the gasket of a vehicle excellently.

That car will never remain the same again…
. You don't know what is wrong with your car. Gasket only can't lead to that issue.

Spray:
Pipe supplying water from radiator to engine got bad and I didn't take notice on-time. So they were limited supply of water.

And I was careless to check my temperature at the dashboard.

I called my mechanic and he said my top gasket got burnt. He said if we get it replaced, it will be alright.

My friend who's in to car dealing business said he can help me sell it and get another car.

What's you take about this? Continue with the car or sell it?
Oga change the gasket. But make sure na expereined hand do am.
Even if you buy another car, car wahala go still show.

I absolutely LOVE Nigerians like you who take responsibility for their failures. Instead of passing the blame, like those who complain about Honda K legs, while they ignore the tell tale sounds and bad handling.
1. That car can still run like new if you give the right mechanic.
2. Make sure you do an engine compression test first before attempting to change engine gasket. If the compression is not to spec, sell the engine & relplace it with a known good one. Otherwise, sell the car. Naija mecs will kill you with bill if you attempt to correct yhe compression to spec.
3. If the heat has not warped the pistons or distorted the engine, you can just change the gasket & you are good to go.DO NOT buy gaskets from ladipo people! If you want that car back, get genuine TOYOTA gaskets from TOYOTA NIGERIA!

GOOD LUCK BUDDY!

Don’t go to a road side mechanic, look for a specialist to fix it for you, they’re expensive but you will be certain that they will do a good job for you

Dude have you checked the catalyst converter? I'm sure the gasket wasn't changed at home.

Re: My Toyota 2009 Top Gasket Got Burnt Yesterday by byteem: 11:12am On Oct 30, 2022
Be certain your gasket is indeed toasted .. simple check.. open the radiator fill it with water and start the car if it rushes out like a tap flowing when u crank the car then its toasted if water stays in the car and doesnt spill out aggressively the its fine .. some mecs are criminals so be sure its really bad dont take their word for it.. if it is indeed toasted then Change your gasket .. but ensure its done by a good mec.. and monitor them.. cos if they dont do it well your engine can loose compression secondly if your radiator is single cell change it to double cell.and ensure the pipes supplying water are well fixed and your fans both ac and engine are working well..

Very few mechanics can change that without causing a change in sound of your vehicle.

Did that to one of my cars last year out of ignorance, mechanic saw oil inside radiator, and said my top gaskest has burnt...I allowed him to change it,The sound became louder with other issues..I sold the car sha.

And got aother replacement recently. Just few mechanics can handle this issue well.

I want to agree with this comment, My Honda element gasket got burnt.

Changed the gasket and the SUV never remained the same again.

First, it sounds a bit louder than before...
Now am getting some strange whistling sound from engine
probably removed your catalytic converter.

Lol, me sef they think so too. Gasket got burnt, no be to buy another one and solve the overheating problem? why sell and buy another car entirely when it's not that the engine got knocked

Too much money dey worry the op.,.

I don't think so. Many people are ignorant about the functioning of car engine. The gasket is just 3000. Black gum is just 800.
The Labour cannot be more than 2000.This is applicable in Kano city.
But, I was told that mechanic in the south west and Lagos are highly exploitative. Definitely he will be convinced to buy a new engine or sell the car.

I'm not disputing what you drive, however just cos your Engine was dropped does not mean it has to, Mechanic well some unscrupulous ones will create jobs for themselves, so you pay more.!st off, you are able to identify what gasket was changed. Your car has more than 10 gaskets. Ur Engine will likely be dropped if the block needs work on . if not, that's wastage of tie labour and money. Anyways what do I know

Look at the manual for replacing Head Gasket of a 2GR Engine.
So, if you mechanic told you he dropped the Engine then you have been done.
