Car TalkRe: My Toyota 2009 Top Gasket Got Burnt Yesterday by smanuel: 8:25pm On Mar 25, 2023
Let me guide you here, the way 2gr engine is built, you can’t change the gasket untop because you can’t have whole access to it, YouTube can help you ok[quote author=flejnr2 post=118506544]I just changed my Top Cylinder Gasket on 2GR. The entire engine had to come down. The area that needed to be applied with High Heat Gum was numerous and there was no way they mechanic could reach the timing chain compartment effectively. Aside from the overheating and water mixing with oil, the nozzle was blocked with carbon build up? It took 2 days to disassemble and taken to the machine where the carbon buildup was grinded and sandpapered. They also used a lot of petrol to wash the entire engine. My CAR PURRS LIKE A KITTEN. THE CAR ACCELARATES AND DRIVES LIKE IT JUST LEFT THE CAR LOT. My fuel economy is improved significantly. The transmission selection is flawless with the RMP never exceeding 2 and down after engaging gear. I bought a new double cell radiator and Radiator Fan Motor. It was the fan that messed up the old radiator, that affected the engine gasket. I wasn't paying attention to the Temperature Gauges when the engine cut off on thirdmainland bridge. I had to tow the vehicle straight home. The auto mechanics came to my home to Fix it. There is also no oil leaks days later. I am excited. OP please don't sell your car. Get a good Mechanic to fix it. Oh I fogot the O -Rings in the piston was clogged up too. that was changed too.

Their GDP is actually pretty low, you meant GDP per capita - which is ridiculously high. Yeah, and free education is awesome (although you pay back some of it if your major isn't science related).
Setswana.

Yeah, and even if you're given a Botswana passport, once you're over the age of 21, you have to renounce one cos they don't allow multiple citizenship which is pretty odd.

I completely agree with you - it's not worth it!! I'd rather be Nigerian than Motswana.
@Shillings are you in Vancouver?

guys Glo-1 is connected since 20/09/10 for 3g and shortly after to adsl,

this is not PR info, a simple tracert or ping can reveal that,

If they are going to reduce prices or not, or if areas other than lagos will see any difference is a different story,

however, whoever is using 3g glo in lagos in a good reception area or even fixed adsl should have seen a huge difference in the d/l speed and browsing speed.
True, Currently I have been using Glo WCDMA, 3G, HSDPA since September in Lekki, Its fast (2 Mbps for download and about 300 kbps for upload), even magicjack is as clear as an MTN phone line. and once connected it stays connected till you manually disconnect. Now that brings new problem, download limit. its still 5Gig for 10K, and i finish that in a week. so thats like 40K a month for 20G. Almost $300 a month for internet, not good. I used to pay $50 a month for unlimited bandwidth. Go figure.

Americans see green not color,many Africans live well here,even better than the native blacks,those who use their naija sense will not get caught up in the debt cycle.Nigeria cannot change from the ground up, it has to start from the leaders downward.They will all get swallowed up by the corrupt system.Good luck.

How dare me? LMFAO!!! If you don't give a f*#k then what the f*#k was your ranting all about?
Yes! I said "you people" meaning Nigerians living in Nigeria! What is your emotional rant all about? If you want Nigerians living abroad to come home then make Nigeria favorable for them. Fix Nigeria up and welcome them back home properly. Don't ask them to come home where they can't find a job or fight for jobs with those who's been living in Nigeria. If Nigerians in Nigeria can't even change Nigeria for the better while living there for how many years what makes them think those returning home can? Unless you people think Nigerians abroad are better equipped to develop Nigeria than Nigerians in Nigeria?
What is there to come back home to? Come back to kidnappings, bad roads, arm robberies, lack of electricity, lack of good healthcare, constant strikes by university professors and healthcare professionals due to govt refusing to pay them? When Nigeria is fixed and changed for the better trust me Nigerians abroad will not wait to be asked to return home.

You can be mixed with anything, half Nigeria half Chinese or whatever I could care less cos I don't see the relevance! If you visit 3 times a year, what contributions have you made so far? What schools, hospitals, roads etc have you helped to reconstruct? What jobs have you created? Why visit 3 times a year, why not just go and live there?

I can tell you though that while living abroad I have helped to reconstruct a school and sending necessary school supplies. My next project is healthcare and I will be here enjoying all the fabulous opportunities in America while causing a change in Nigeria. I don't need to return home and live in Nigeria to help make Nigeria better. I can do it from here and do it better than those living in Nigeria.

Why are some Nigerians living in Nigeria saying Nigerians abroad should come home and cause the change they want? Seriously, if you people living in Nigeria [/b]can't even cause any change what makes yall think those returning home will?

How about yall back home make Nigeria better with jobs, good roads and electricity that way Nigerians abroad will have a reason to return home?
[b]You Peoplehuhhuh?? How dare youhuh I dont give f, K how long you have lived in the States, or how blue your passport is, how many ways you change your name, how well your accent has evolved, how many american kids you have, you are still Nigerian, denounce it all you want. At the end of the day, "Nigerian-American Immigrant" will precede your name or your parents name, either way, success or failure. Believe me, this is coming from a a person whose doesn't care a hoot about African and Nigeria in particular before I visited.  (You People) that you refer to have a very strong indomitable spirit that you can not begin to imagine. In the face of such hopelessness and plenty, people are still striving and surviving. In case you are wondering, I am half Nigerian and I visit that country 3 times a year and I love it, despite its challenges. Its my believe that (YOU PEOPLE) will make that nation better. Stay in the States, Nigerian-American Igbo Girl!

Nigeria Says it Plans to Introduce Electricity Pricing Regime in November

Nigeria will introduce an electricity pricing regime in November before the government sells distribution companies and allows private investments to build power plants in Africa’s most populous country.

“Pricing and regulatory issues are being sorted out and should be completed next month,” Barth Nnaji, an adviser to Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan, said in an interview on Oct. 8 in Abuja. The government will then be able to provide “the appropriate information to buyers as to what tariffs they can expect,” he said.

The market-determined plan will replace subsidized prices where consumers pay 6 naira ($0.04) a kilowatt, he said.

President Jonathan on Aug. 26 announced a plan to end the state power monopoly and allow private investments in generation. The government will sell 11 distribution units of Power Holding Co. of Nigeria and allow private companies to build gas-fired, coal-fueled and hydropower plants.

Power cuts occur daily in Nigeria, where demand for electricity is almost double the current supply of 3,000 megawatts. The government wants to increase output to 14,019 megawatts by 2013.

Six companies, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Standard Chartered Plc, have expressed interest in advising on the sale of the power generation and distribution companies that will be completed by the first half of next year, the adviser said.

An investors’ forum will be held Oct. 14 to Oct. 15 in the capital, Abuja, that will be attended by representatives from General Electric Co., Rolls Royce Group Plc, and companies from China, South Korea and India, Nnaji said.
