Wait a minute.

I’m not saying all crankshafts need that. This particular cshaft may not need more than a good cleaning if it hasn’t spun in the bearings.

oluwaseunla:
That is on the assumption that your engine needs only a crankshaft and oil pump. That is why I said extent of damage is also a factor.

radautoworks:
Retail is N95,626 but I'm obviously not telling you our cost. Or did you forget we are a Carquest?

radautoworks:
And we tore down the whole motor before we listed what needed changing. Actually have a video but can't figure out how to post here. Plus I'm mad he put parts on the floor instead of the work bench when assembling so I told him to do it better and make new video

Kamaru?

radautoworks:
Thank you and that is something we'd rather not deal with. When we use something, the world sees what we are using. There are no dark deep secrets

evilspirit:
I may not like gazzuzz attitude but I rather take my car to his workshop for engine replacement thank use 100k as labor for a rebuild.

oluwaseunla:
Phew, you just broke my heart.

GAZZUZZ:
Kamaru?

thebigkendo:
The assumption is based on the corolla of interest, not generalizing for all rebuilds and Gazzuzz quote for team replacement from another thread

GAZZUZZ:
The Term retail should refer to client buying single part.

oluwaseunla:
Yes ma'am. I understand your process. Only pointing out to him that the final cost of rebuild will be dependent on extent of damage of the engine.

radautoworks:
WHAT IS THIS OBSESSION ON NAIRALAND WITH "REPLACE ENGINE" AND "REPLACE COMPRESSOR/CONDENSER"??

Most of the time, that is not necessary and is only recommended because they either can't or won't diagnose what actual component in the system is causing the problem so they just replace the whole system.

Rebuilds only take 2-3 days unless there is a parts delay

e.g. other recommendation on here ( sight unseen I might add) was 300k engine replacement. Actual solution only cost 113k and did NOT require an engine replacement SMH.

I've attached a picture of the supposed 300k engine replacement problem. Yes, you are seeing right. Someone used SOCKET TOOLS as a part in the engine

They also used a knockoff two layer gasket instead of three.

oh, and did I mention diagnosis was FREE with the repair?

radautoworks:
And it does. That's what I would sell the part for is someone wanted to buy it which tells you I get it for less than that. Now do you want to reevaluate your math on what it would cost us to do this repair and if it's possible it not?

I have been trying to be subtle when you kept pressing cost but we are not a mechanic. We are a DISTRIBUTOR. The costs you're familiar with don't apply to us.

GAZZUZZ:
Uber drivers do 5,000miles in 4weeks. try again sir.

GAZZUZZ:
corrola is pending, let's get to the camry with the stripped bolt issue.

today I no go work and I have a lot of free time on my hands.

strip Bolt on a 2az engine fixed @ 110,000 instead of replacing.

What did you replace?

did you ensure client will not have to bother with oil burn issues in near future?

What was the cost break down?

oluwaseunla:
Ok. So the statement is for if this particular vehicle is yours. Not a general statement for a corolla rebuild right?

radautoworks:
How about you start giving breakdowns of your repairs? And that wasn't a Camry

GAZZUZZ:
That's The difference between 2 of us. You are in marketing I am a mechanic.

radautoworks:

It's a 2az-fe engine 2002-2004.

Now standard repair process would be to replace the short block and machine the head.

How did that happen under N113,000 with labour inclusive?

did you re-thread the worn block?

We like rebuilds too.

diportivo:
are you new on cartalk

welcome ma

but,

and so on and so forth

thebigkendo:
Using the above estimate, let's say approximately 300k + 35k labour + Gazzuzz mobil 1 warrantee = 330k
Aunty Radu rebuild +parts(engine oil, coolant, crankshaft, oil pump, bearing, gaskets etc) + 6month warrantee = 240k

Kazeem will probably do engine +labour +water in radiator = 180-200k with a week warrantee

330k - 240k = 90k
90k is alot of money mehn.. I will go with radautoworks mehn
300k is my confortable limit for engine life so with our assumed 250k miles on the corolla
I Still have 50k miles to go.. Which is like 2 - 3 years

Radautoworks for me..

I'm taking cost like he's asking from me dipo

Inception:
Boils down to cost, value for money and CHOICE.

Some people take pride is ensuring that the car they drive still has its original engine and transmission. In that case even if the engine is worth 20k in Ladipo, they would not mind spending over 200k in fixing the original one.
Some people do not care about originality but want a very good engine in their vehicle that is low mileage . they want peace of mind.

Some people just want to keep managing the car like that

thebigkendo:
Abeg cartalkers let's take it easy on aunty Radu, we would not want to make baby Radu come earlier than expected because of cartalk tension

thebigkendo:
Bolded will not apply to any corolla in Nigeria!!!

The point to note is: let the choice/options be available for the customer.. Then customer chooses whichever he/she prefers

radautoworks:
Would you like to talk to Glen so he can walk you through it ? And yes, machining was part of it. As far as results, you can ask the owner Pitokwe.

GAZZUZZ:
Cartalk would be much more Fun if Glen Can talk to us, reminds me of sienna.

Well the point again in this camry repair process is, you went for the presented faults.

You made the engine replacement look like it was Evil.

Overheating solved yes.

Short block replaced No.

Piston rings replaced No.

Crankshaft oil seals replaced NO.

client is happy again for 6months.
