Doslop:I use Kia optima 2012, the engine was changed in 2018 to 2.0 L Theta II MPI I4. Price was 430k. There's no point buying the 2.0 turbocharged engine. You can also go for the 2.4L engine, it is cheaper. 1 Like |

being a good engineer is not by acquiring all the expensive equipments and machineries but by getting the best out of the few hand tools you have. we start small and grow big, cos i've seen people who launched their workshops with expensive tools and equipments. with all the publicity and adverts, they shrink back to zero. i'm sure you'll still put paper inside engine if they put you in this kind of workshop cos i can't see reason why you'll compare a factory assembly line with a auto repair shop. meanwhile, i painted that engine and after assembling using brand new OEM parts? that engine sounded like a brand new when we started it. adanny01: |

lyort: Painting of Engine! Which factory repair manual did you use? You can do factory repair but can't do factory cleaning then you resorted to spraying factory appearance. Even the papered 1zz has been sounding like new for 2yrs now. |

Inception: He said his rebuild is better than tokumbo engines in the market. So if I get a tokumbo engine with 10kmiles on it which was built in such a factory, his rebuilt engine is better. His 400k rebuilt engine is better than a toks 800k engine, forgive me, I will take the toks anyday anytime. At least I trust Gazzuzz to get me a shiny unsprayed toks. He is rebuilding an engine with an unreliably calibrated veneer caliper or micrometer gauge but an assembly line uses the best computer programmed and certified calibrated equipment. I know exactly where to put my trust. Just because he spayed a mat (or whatever it was) does not mean he will not get contamination from dust and other things in that environment. So even with OEM parts, that engine is far from close to an OEM engine that has no contamination. lyort: |

ArewaOduduwaBia: My brother a bought a tokunbo car, a compressor C240 in November 2018, a week after I regretted buying that car. I spent more than 50k monthly to fix one fault or the other until I sold it and went for a car loan a bought my self a brand new car. Fairly used cars are a big NO for me.' |

paschenko: Just do your due diligence on tokunbo cars and you ll be fine. Get a competent mechanic to inspect. It is not enough for someone you know to tell you car is fine or perfect. Finally, always do a vin check. 1 Like |

my brother, its not the owner oo. the car is a 2015 model bought at brand new in 2016. she never slacked with her oil change and is very meticulous with maintenance. its the mechanics who serviced using one of the worst mineral oil in the market. the fear of not letting her baby get damaged by egbon kazeem made her turn to the service center in a mega filling station(jekin f'oruko bo won l'asiri) with the hope of getting a more quality service, but ordinary misfire they could not detect its root cause. from spark plugs to ignition coils to injector nozzles, nothing worked, even used a diagnostic scanner to raise the idle to about 1500rpm, the engine could still not hold up with the AC. they just made the innocent woman wasted money without result. befuddled and didn't know what else to check, they told her to buy another engine, naso mama para say "motor wey una begin service from brand new naim make i change engine in less than 4years? " no way. it was her friend who referred me to her and when i checked, engine smoked caused by worn out piston rings, 5 valves bent and six rocker arms across 3 cylinders displaced from the top of the valves. a problem very synonymous with toyota's ZR and TR(engine family) poorly designed cylinder head and valve train. so the engine was abused by the mechanics not the owner diportivo: |

I decided to get a new engine cos the old one was a mess, the seller is evil, they knew the engine was bad I don't know if it knocked or something. What they did is couple the engine here with different engine parts from probably another bad engine, when the engine was opened, it was nothing to write home about. Luckily for me Gazzuz was able to get me a very good engine with 45,000 mileage. When my mechanic saw the engine he said he's never seen a clean engine like that it is pristine. The engine started on the first try and the sound was very low. Thank you all for your advise and thanks to Gazzuz. 5 Likes |

Inception: Engineer here, I disagree. If it works, it works. Of course, that only counts if functionality isn't abruptly disrupted by catastrophic failure. In the case of Adanny and his paper solution, I think it was an excellent choice. The fact that it's lasted two years supports that opinion. At this point, he's gotten full utility from what was supposed to be a temporary fix. Even if he throws a rod now, I like to think he won't be too pissed. Again, if it works, it works. There are always multiple solutions. Always.

promotervickky: Stop talking rubbish. Low mileage has never been evidence of anything. A car having low miles means just that, that it has low miles. Doesn't mean it's better than a car with 50k miles more. As for OP, personally, I'd say take the L. Sell the car. Those engines are the perfect example of awful mechanical design. A replacement may fail too, there's no getting over it. A rebuild is probably the smarter option but there's nothing much you can do if the design is inherently flawed. 1 Like |
