Car Talk › To Rebuild Or To Replace? by GAZZUZZ(op): 2:33pm On Aug 08, 2018*

There has been a lot of talk about engine rebuilds on Cartalk, so I feel we should look at both sides of the fence critically.

Engine rebuilds, are basically replacing all worn out parts of an engine with new parts, making adjustments to certain parts of the engine.

Now I was in the warehouse yesterday to pickup a consignment that just arrived when I sighted a very sharp shiny looking 2zr-fe engine that would fit in most corrolas and matrix from 2007-2015, I am a sucker for new shiny engines, and I could not let this pass me by.

I entered the shop, negotiated the price and had it transported to the workshop even though I had no orders for it.

When it got to the shop, I had the intake and exhaust manifolds removed to get a clear view of this beauty.

So my question, what would you rather do in a situation like this? Replace with a little extra cost, or Rebuild?

Meanwhile it's not a fluke, there are engines in the market in much more prestine conditions than this, and deals like this come in almost every time if you have the patience to look, and the right amount to pay.

This was supplied Sept 2017, still waxing stron in abuja.

Yes you are right. But their partners praise them as the hardworking drivers

From experience, I now know the "hardworking" drivers from the hardworking drivers. It's quite simple. ~5,000 miles every 6weeks i a genuine driver. ~ 2000-3000 every 6weeks is cutting corners and will not last long. 6,000-10,000 miles there is more than 1 driver using the vehicle.

Car Talk › Re: When It Is Time To Return To Factory Specs. by GAZZUZZ(op): 6:45am On Aug 08, 2018

I have a little time on my hands, so let's breakdown what happened to this vehicle.

near Perfect vehicle imported into the County @ 65,000miles.

Had its all its oil changes done using 20w50 engine oil.

Engine oil changes where done in 1month intervals irrespective of distance covered.

Had its first sever overheating around the same mileage.

Had Fans connected directly and Thermostat removed

Had the Catalytic converter Removed.

Coolant had been lost in the first Pipe rupture, normal water running in the system

Basically engine was running with temp values around ~ 65deg (what I usually see) celsius which is below engine running temp for about 5years.

Effects of the above in next post...........

I believe that before you upgrade a car to factory spec, you must first consider the state of the car engine and that can only be done by a professional or expert but depotive failed to take note of that. Thanks guzzazz for the educating story line.

Joshculler:
Pls House, am new to e-hailing. I am curruntly working out a HP deal with a friend. And am to be remitting 120k monthly. Pls i want to kniw before i fully enter this biz. Is it possible to work from 5.30am -10pm daily and have a net profit of like 220k monthly? Am not a greedy fellow, just want to put food on d table for my family and make dem comfortable. Pls kindly give me realistic advice. Thanks

Be careful what you sign sir. 220k per month is 55k per week, a car is a machine, there are parts that can fail without notice e.g Alternator, a/c, wipers, exhaust etc..... As log as it is not a brand new car failure rate exists and you will have to replace those parts to continue working. You will also need to Feed and and buy service the car with Good quality engine oil within those 4weeks.

A driver on this platform signed a 110k H.P deal with me and failed in payments the first month because he claimed he serviced the car with synthetic oil and changed toks shocks. So I have see it first hand.

I will advice you to do rental first, experience earnings first hand and see what is obtainable, pace your self, and put your self in a virtual H.P seat while on Rental E.G set aside money for servicing, and repairs. At the end of 3months you will not need to ask this question.

Good luck sir.

Oga Gazzuzz good evening.

Pls I have two questions.

Car is a 98 Camry.

1. Previous owner was using I think visco 2000 engine oil. But I want to change to mobil 1. Pls your candid advice.

2. Yesterday, car started jerking when put in reverse gear. Pls what could be the cause of this. And solution.

Earnestly expecting your reply to the above questions.

My warm regards.

4cylinder or V6? Stick with a good brand of 20w-50.

Jerking is a misfire, cannot be solved remotely, you need to see a mechanic.

Good afternoon Gazzuzz,

My 2003 Acura MDX is not starting. I got a diagnostics guy to scan it yesterday but it could not be scanned. Please what could be the problem?

Background to how the problem started:

3 weeks back, the SUV will not start, got my mechanic to check it and he discovered it was the alternator that was faulty. It was promptly replaced and all was back to normal. Barely, two weeks after replacing the alternator, I noticed the battery icon flashing on the dashboard. Had it checked and the alternator was the culprit.

Now, the rewire who removed the alternator so I could return it for replacement, decided to troubleshoot before finally concluding it was the alternator. During the process of troubleshooting, I noticed the transponder key was always flashing intermittently, same with the battery icon.

Now that, I have gotten another alternator, the car has refused to start. It rolls when I try to put it on. But the battery icon and green transponder key icon does not come on.

Please help me out and recommend any good mechanic in Ibadan that can fix this problem. SUV is in Akobo, Ibadan.

Thanks for your time.

That was where Kamaru fried the engine ecu.

Replace engine ecu aka brainbox.

Probably cheaper alternative in Long run is to change tires and possibly rim. You won't get a lot of lift but maybe just enough. Lifting the car itself it using spacers in the long run will increase your maintenance costs.

Alternatively, and I say this without any sarcasm, sell and get a car with more clearance.
