radautoworks:
Yup I did. I emailed you but now I'm thinking I'll wait for the redo.

Kashif:
Easy, easy, easy.... calling out Radautoworks and Gazzuzz especially

I would advise you both post no more here, as it is getting a little personal.



Peace.

com1234:
i ve learnt a lot today from both teams and the captains( Captain Gazzuzz and captain mrs anty Radu).
But the argurment is now getting personal.

Can both parties kindly shelve the swords PLEASE.

Anty, pls invite glen....hoping to learn from him here too.

falzthebadguy:
Two different schools of thought one will only repair and will never replace unless if imported by self, the other is open to both options but more inclined to replacements locally.

very healthy debates, this is what we expect on Cartalk.

As a patriotic Nigerian I would Buy Nigeria to grow nigeria.

thebigkendo:
Exactly!!!

As for the patriotic bits..Bros I don't really understand

Both parties are in Nigeria, employ Nigerians, pay tax in Nigeria(I hope) .
Team replacement "local replacement engines" are imported by 3rd parties from ogbodo Oyibo with duty paid(I hope) .
Team rebuild wants to import by self from ogbodo oyibo & still will pay duty(I hope).

Now, there is a difference between a repair and a rebuild. When you replace few components like was done on the Corolla in discuss, it should not be called a rebuild. Rebuild and repair do not have same warranty, because you can only warranty the replaced part.

If a full rebuild is carried out, the warranty should not be less than a year.

Most times, a Tech's marketing capacity plays a critical role in swaying the customer's decision. If I can get higher warranty on replacement than a repair or rebuild at same cost, I will go with replacement.

Both approaches come with considerable analysis before deciding. Know when to repair, rebuild or replace.

Peace.

The only reason I responded is because of the TITLE of this Thread.

A replacement is holistic

A Rebuild is holistic. While a repair is partial.

Comparing a replacement to a repair is sacrilegious

Not entirely sir.
There is a chain of people who will benefit from buying products locally.

1. The importer
2. the Trucker
3. The Warehouse
4. The retailers landlord
4.The retailer
5. the truck boys (twice)
6.The market unions
7. the local Govt
8. The petty traders in the market
9. PHCN
And on and on, it's a ripple effect and helps the Nigerian economy.

Am very sure team rebuild will never import a corolla engine because Ladipo = 180k, import by self probably = 350k minus Labour engine oil, coolant and other consumables.
A land rover puma engine maybe
Roll Royce engine.. Maybe

But not Toyota or Honda engine weh full everywhere at far cheaper price

The 2017/18 2GR-FE would you buy or rebuild? 1.5m

this is a clear case of team repair.

Na wa oh.. Why dey go don drop engine on a 2017 motor? Village people at work!!!

1.5m!! Ahhhhhhh diportivo meme!!

GAZZUZZ:
while we were at it, I decided to stroll to the market to buy an engine for a vehicle in the shop.

case study is a toyota camry 2003 with a 1az-fe engine stamped to look like a 2az-fe engine in the bay.

The vehicle mileage is 460,000miles

It rattles, smokes and shorts oil.

usually I would have gone asian, but on a tight budget as the client has a string of jobs to do.

So I went American but side by side with computerglobal as my guide.

On first attempt, I settled for this engine.

Engine came out of this car, car is not flooded , but involved in front impact. I wonder why the Mexicans did not fix and sell as a whole car? I guess because it's due to the fact that it has to be trucked from texas to a costal state which would push the price of the car beyond the roof.

If you search diligently you will find a steady supply of low mileage engines in ladipo market in mushin lagos.

timifakay:
One question.
Radautoworks. Will the rebuilt/ repaired corolla engine be able to run on synthetic oil without oil burn issues?

Gazzuzz. Will the replacement corolla engine run on synthetic oil without oil burn issues?

You do know that Carfax will only show repairs done by major dealerships or insurance companies who report it right?

GAZZUZZ:
a tokumbor 09 camry will enter naija at Between 100,000-160,000miles and we will clap for the car dealer.

This is a maximum of 40,000 miles and oil was changed regularly based on the innards of the engine.
