Sorry for the wahala. The only reason u should rework a Corolla engine is if it was shorting oil.
If it knocked or badly overheated like your case then just replace the engine. Cos u will have to change virtually everything metallic inside that engine before u have a close to okay experience cos of thermal expansion.

Now d money u have spent so far is wasted if u stop halfway...and any more money u spend on that engine is potentially going to waste too, If it's only cylinder and rings u changed, u still have a long way to go on that engine.

Now, block of an engine that was knocked isn't going to be any better...maybe, except that it will not mix water and oil. But it will not perform well, hold pressure, or have power. I would have said don't buy block of engine that was knocked, but even if u go to d market to buy block, they will not tell u what happened to d engine that they are selling d block to u.

My advise is if u have money, change the engine at ones.
But because you have chook head already in the direction of rebuilding, then do an estimate of the cost of replacing everything including: block, crankshaft, piston, oil pump, water pump, camshaft, timing chain, valves, adjuster, etc and see before u decide if u want to put in more money to rebuild or replace the engine.

If u don't have money yet, let him put the block for not more than 10k (afteral na him do rubbish work before), payment after the engine has been mounted and d performance is okay.

Sorry for the experience.
My own car is matrix. But they say the corolla can work.

If the block is not worn out it will work fine with your rings. The mech will just transfer your Crankshaft, piston and ring to the new block you will buy, and couple everything and you will be fine.
How do I know the block isn't worn out. Cos this meco isn't my meco na for oyo here I meet am. He said the block is still ok that it's my piston and crank he'll just put. I'll drop my own cracked block.
Towing the car back to lagos is 70k that's why I didn't even think of that.

The history of the knocked engine is needed.

I once had my cracked engine block sold to someone who's engine had knocked.
Just like in your case, he removed parts from his block and fitted in mine.

The engine is still serving the guy till date.

My assurance was that my engine never overheated while in use just that cracked block.

It's something you can attempt if you can get that assurance and have it fitted, working properly before you pay.
They say the engine has never been ringed.
My fear is that before an engine can knock that means oil finished inside right?
Before oil can finish in an engine then the engine was shorting oil before

Have you priced the engine of your car to have an idea of the cost...

The block of the knocked engine is already weakened and it will on the long run start giving your issues as well...

If you have the fund try and get a tokunbo engine and if you can't afford it now, you can get the block and start saving from the day u install it as it might not last a year
I have 360 Japan.
If I had known I would just leave it and gather money to buy new engine.
Now they have bought tokunbo cylinder and gasket and ring.
I don enter this one

Guys I need help.
I took my car to oyo,on the way it over heated and the cylinder got condemned.
They say I go buy new cylinder and ring. I did that.
The car come start but the work no complete.
They say na coil.
We buy coil.
After changing the coils it didn't get better. We come discover say the thing don mix oil and water. Na then the meco dey tell me say the block has broken when he open the engine, so he use something to gum it so I can manage it,say na the same place wey the water dey pass enter be that. Say na to buy new block.
I've already spent 140k like this.
Now there's an engine wey dey say he knock (corolla) say make I buy the block put am for cheaper. Do you guys think it can work? And my concern is that even if it works for the rola engine to knock shey he no go spoil the block? That in the long run he go come still dey short oil. Please I need Input. This is not the time to troll me abeg I'm really going through alot
