AutoElectNG:


I agree with you.

I haven't seen my friend rebuild engines, I have watched him diagnose and resolve issues, if he follows such steps in rebuilding engines, following manufacturer information, using manufacturer tools and data, adding that to his residual mechanical/technical acumen, then there is no reason why he should not be a success. That was the basis of my conclusion.

The reason for #4 of my list is there is proper formal/technical/professional education on engine rebuilding for any who is interested in the States, and a very vibrant community of engine re-builders for sharing best-practices, to the best of my knowledge and belief these do not exist in Nigeria - that is certainly a reason for the lack of rebuilding expertise in Nigeria.

That and #7 (lack of the proper tools) and #9 (following a engine rebuild manual) may have caused him to fail though which takes us back to #4. Kashif who recently rebuild his transmission can attest to this, I can recall he had to undergo some training which was not sourced locally.

4, 7 AND 9 LISTED FOR REFERENCE

4. Doing so is both a science and an art, not everyone is a master at both, and we don't feel the need to specialize or become master engine re-builders, we don't believe that is where the money in this business lies and what is more, we have not invested in the education to make us great at this task


7. It is an exacting job that is unforgiving of mistakes, most of us are not that methodical and painstaking, we would suck at it, and we know it and so we had better not even try


9. our mates who do, do that without consulting documentation, and as a result such engines are not rebuilt to specification, and when they fail, we use those stories as warning to our clients that we don't want to do the same to your engine (but without the background that the job was not done properly and so it was bound to fail anywhere whereas were it done properly, it would be as good as a new engine)

5 US quart is tentatively N20,000 but includes tax and ecological waste fee.

But coupon code Azikwe will get you 10% store wide.

These una cheap prices, make una fear god o.

On Amazon, it is 28$ and that is N10000 plus. The big question is why is Mobil dumping useless oils to us and selling it above the price of the better oils. Mobil 1 5w30 Extended performance is cheaper than Mobil 1 5w30 esp and 0w40 sold here and the quality are miles apart. If the oil is sold at Amazon at that amount, imagine if Mobil ships it directly the way they bring their 0w40 from Egypt, we would have been better off with it.
The Mobil oils in the US and the one sold locally are not the same category. We have 2 choices of oil for our cars using Mobil products. 5w30 and 0w40. Which modern cars request for these oils today? Is it Honda or Toyota of 2010?

Mechanics with no sound knowledge should not accept jobs they do not understand.
