. why would u pay agent 460k for wat,where is your final destination?that amount is on the high side even if u are travelling during summer to south America or Asia
.
Its a 2way ticket and I'm having d believe dat d agent don put me 4 1 chance. Right nw I'm finding it difficult to fly wit air marocc because of d transit visa issue thogh dia CCR told me dat 
Ñ dnt need a transit visa to fly wit dem if my ticket is on 1PNR and d brazilian embassy is not willing to release d transit visa.

Note of warning to everyone,air moroc to Casablanca then to ur final destination is not a good deal at all,the fact dat air moroc refused to carry the OP base on transit visa,the OP should even thank GOD dat he didn't get to Casablanca & get his visa destroy by Moroccans immigration on a false claim of fake visa.it happened to my friend in 2013 when he got France visa & he bought air moroc,rooted logos-Casablanca-Paris. on getting to Casablanca the Moroccans immigration said his visa was fake & dey destroyed the visa by writing rubbish on the visa,my friend tried to explain to dem bt dey beat him & locked him up in cell then the next day dey deported him bk to Nigeria.The 2uth of the mata is dat it was my was who submitted his documents & passport by himself @ vfs & he was also the one who went to pick his passport up @ vfs wit visa on it,so how come the issue of fake visa come up or can the embassy issued fake visa,the answer is NO.When my friend got to MM here in Nigeria he was arrested by Nigeria immigration on the ground of deportation then he explained to the immigration & dey told my friend dat if dey discover the visa was fake,it will be a big problem for him,dey went him according to my friend & wen dey came out,it was confirmed dat the visa wasn't fake,right there @ muritala airport the immigration told my friend to go bk to French embassy to lodge his complain,then he came out of the arrival hall to meet me outside where i was waiting for him cos while he was in Casablanca in Morocco he called me and said to me dat he has been told dat he is going to be deported dat i shld com & pick @ the airport. so next morning i went wit him to French embassy & dey asked him why dey destroyed his visa,he explained to dem but the only thing the embassy told him was to reapply which he did but he was denied. What baffled me is that wat right did the Moroccans immigration ve to destroyed a passenger visa on the ground of fake,wen the visa is not Morocco visa.@ least dey should allow the passenger to get to his or her final destination which is the visa of dat country,there dey kn if the visa which a passenger want to use to enter their country is fake or genuine,cos every visa has a control number which can only be detected by the immigration of dat country. in the case of my friend,it was the duty of France immigration to check his visa status & not Moroccans immigration.Air moroc is always cheap bt it is not advisable.

my dear, I think he needs airlines that wouldn't require transit visas. Any. Airline transiting in Europe and America(US) would require a transit visa. You can contact Ethiopian or South African Airways for flights to sao paulo and then book aeromexico or copa from sao paolo to mexico city. Your flight from sao paolo has to be within 12hrs, that's the transit time for Nigerian passport in Brazil. You can contact me if you need me to book the flight for you but I'm gonna charge you for my service though.
Ok how do I get in touch?

Please guys in d house, I got a visa to mexico in feb. And ask an agent to help me get a ticket which he did. I was to fly with air maroc last sunday only to discover on nairaland abt their poor services and their demand for a transit visa to brazil which I told him, but he didn't take it seriously until d dying minute. At d end of d day he had to cancel d flight. So is it possible to book d ticket online by myself?

You have not been doing regular oil change to that car, maybe topping it off and there was sign of over heat in the engine.
Compare your engine to this engine

https://www.nairaland.com/1996850/need-new-engine-toyota-avalon#28024410

and this engine
https://www.nairaland.com/852138/how#10373320

those build up can also result from using wrong grade of oil with no detergent in them.

Here could be a lesson why buying the right oil saves money when compared to the cheap oils

like they said earlier there is no cheap fix for this just get a replacement engine.

A repair will be a new block, crankshaft, rods, pistons, bearings, seals, rings and an expert. then you have to know the heads will still work.

Remember the mechanic will tell you he can rebuild it, he will get paid for a job you will still end up with a bad motor, so only consider an advice that will result in a good engine and it is not necessarily the cheapest option.
FYI d car is been serviced very month with Nissan engine oil.

Siena:
[color=Blue]Ttue, that's another option, but...

...It depends on what caused the conrod to fail. If low oil pressure played a part, then there will be cylinder head, and / or camshaft(s) damage. When oil pressure drops, the cams suffer first, as they are furthest from the oil pump. Even if they look okay, I would not advice the head and cams are reused. A short engine assembly is still not that cheap, we don't want the thread starter to have cause to open another disaster thread, or revisit this one.

Another issue is the average Nigerian mechanic's penchant for getting the timing between the camshaft and crankshaft wrong, with catastrophic results, even on a simple I4 SOHC 8V engine. Consider the same approach with a V6 2 x DOHC 24V motor.

One thing I've always wondered - how many Nigerian mechanics use a torque wrench, or even know the factory torque settings of the cylinder head bolts, crank and connecting rod bearing cap bolts? That cap that came loose and smashed holes in the block is a major cause for concern.[/color]
Is it possible dat wrong torque setting of d conrod bearing cap bolt cud b responsible for this or sludge in d engine because I saw little amount of oil sludge wen d bottom plate was opened.

This is the pic I took of the engine. My mech said dat d conrod was starved of oil hence d burnt part of d conrod attached to the crankshaft he said the crankshaft shud b replaced with another one (standard). The block shud also b replaced or can b welded. And replace one of d conrod.

@ siena is it possible dat d conrod cap was not properly attached to d conrod d last tyme d rings were replaced? And couple of months b4 now there was dis gradual rattling sound dat was coming out of engine 2 diff. Mech. Cud not really address d issue they just brush it aside as if it doesn't matter. And I'm always very observant wen I'm driving in terms of d dash board indicator oil guage was very normal. And now d mechs here are saying d oil pump is d culprit because it failed bt there was no sign from d dash board indicator.

@sultaan, d engine was serviced few days b4 embarking on d journey and d oil u c around d valve cover surfaced after I replaced d rings about 2yrs + ago. D cost of getting a used engine is pretty on d high side and one can not really know d condition too. D least price I got was 620k in benin and I tot I cud get it cheaper in ladipo though I only saw 2 ppl who has d engine because of d easter monday holiday.
