TRYGO:
Just calmed down. You don't need to be in a panic.
Carry out the suggestions below, you'd get that engine sorted out.

Y do you have to drain that oil every two months just because you intended to have the oil pump cleaned?

Its waste of resources, and that might increase problems for you, since you'd be loosing and tightening bolts and nuts more often?

I thought you said the engine was ringed?

Didn't your mechanic wash up all the internals of the engine while rebuilding, or you just asked him to only replaced the rings and allowed the engine like that?

This is what you'd do:
1. as long as you've already cleaned up the strainer already, don't opened up the sump again.

2. Since you're using conventional oil, your suggestions of replacing the engine oil every two to three months is cool.

3. Why you had the sludge development was because of the prolonged oil change interval on that oil.

Using such oils at that interval is a disaster waiting to happened, as long as you don't used high mileage synthetic oil, that's in the range of #18-20k.

4. Once your oil is due for change, add s can of engine flush, mixed with the one you want to change.

Allowed the engine to idle for 3min, then drain.
Do so every oil change for three tines or how capable you can, then discontinue.


I sure really hope this short piece of advice, would helped you sort the problem out.

Thanks again for your detailed response.

I didn’t tell him to open and wash the engine cause I do not want anyone messing with my engine, since I’ve never opened it before to do anything to it.

I have added flush before but I said I wouldn’t do it again after I read some suggestions that if you flush you car, you may be unlucky to have some of the sludge clog some parts of the engine. I mean not everyone who flushes will be unlucky, but I heard a few maybe unlucky and I don’t want to be the unlucky one.

Why can’t I open up the sump again? What damage do you think I can cause my doing this?

I just figured that if I change my oil every two months, I can drop the sump and clean it, since some sludge would have fallen down from the engine.

Please tell me why dropping the sump is a bad idea.

GAZZUZZ:
Your current engine will not make it to Christmas.

You will replace it, and also destroy the next one. It's not ekpe it's just a pattern due to oil change duration and engine oil type.
Haba gazzuzz, why will you want to swear for me na?

My Engine will survive 10 more years in Jesus name, but by then I would be riding in a newer car in Jesus mighty name, amen!!!!!

For anyone who cares to know, the problem was sludge that had clogged up the oil pump screen.

So we had to drop the oil sump and clear sludge from there, then we cleared the sludge from the screen as well. Coupled everything back, drove a bit and did the process all over again.

Then we added some new oil.

I change my oil every 6 to 7 months with Total quartz 20w 50, but I guess the frequency is too low with such a heavy oil.

I am really scared of flushing my engine, as I heard the sludge could clog up some narrow passage ways in there.

So I’m going to increase the frequency of my oil changes to every 2 months with the same oil and then drop the oil sump to clean the oil pump screen every 3 months, I think that would be a safer way to get rid of the excess sludge in the engine.

Thanks for all your inputs and have a blessed day.

The job he did isn't related to the noise surfacing right now.

Looking at the location where the O Deal was removed, you can see some form of gunk in there.

This should further tel you that you may have not being replacing your oil as at when due, or you're using conventional engine oil, that you take loooog time to have it replaced.

Appears you've a lot of sludge in the engine.

Y not take sometime to flush that engine up? Do a drain and refill, after replacing the oil.

You could also used oil treatment, to see how it goes.

Yo, this was the problem, sludge.

However, I wonder why the knocking just started as soon as the mechanic returned the car to me after fixing the oil seal.

The part is called rear main oil seal.

Take the car to a mechanic to figure out the sound.

Good luck.
Thanks for the assistance bro

The sound will stop,check your oil level and probably service the car,I guess the noise could be from the tappets.
The sound did not stop on it’s own ooo

A mechanic helpled me fox an oil seal between the engine and transmission. The engine had to be removed to do this job.

Now it sounds like the car has a knocking grinding sound. Could it be cause of the work he did or unrelated? Please help me, posting pics of the job below.

But white people can be organized sha

See how the hay is bunched or rolled up neatly.

I’m sure if most people here saw trucks conveying hay neatly by NG police, they won’t evem complain.

Is there something in the DNA of white people that makes them more organized even in little things?

Is there something in the DNA or blacks that gives us a very nonchalant attitude to almost everything?

How can a country not in shambles, be struggling with such a ragtag group?

Please don’t mention America struggling in Afghanistan, cause that is not their country.

You mean to tell me that Boko Haram can just be attacking American soldiers baraks right in America? That would be highly impossible.

So why are the military letting these guys come out so brazenly to sack their convoys and barracks?

Good gesture!

However, I wonder if these cars and bikes also come with much needed technology to fight crime.

For instance, is there equipment needed to verify a drivers license? Thus identifying a driver?

Any radios for central communication and deployment, of will they rely on cell phones?

Good job sha at the end of the day, but we also need to improve tech-wise to aid in enforcing law and order.

Don’t think it’s just about having balls yo! I believe it’s about doing what you can for your people to prosper, including selfless things like stepping down.

People think he has balls because he chased away white farmers, but why chase away white farmers and the economic prosperity that comes with having such skilled hands and equipment?

It’s like trump chasing away all Nigerian doctors that are so very specialized, or all Asian/Indian doctors because of white supremacy. It just won’t make economic sense.

Foreign Affairs › Re: 20 Interesting Facts You Never Knew About Mugabe & His Rule In Zimbabwe by VaselineCrew: 11:30am On Sep 06, 2019
Someone that turned his country to trash and refused to step down.

All these dictators that want or wanted to be life presidents. Did God make the country just for you, abi are you a King or something?

If he was even doing well like how China is doing, it would have been understandable, but alas, his citizens still had to use millions of their currency just to buy bread.

Politics › Re: Buhari Mourns Robert Mugabe, Zimbabwe Ex-President by VaselineCrew: 11:25am On Sep 06, 2019
Is it not the same Zimbabwe that was using millions of their currency to buy bread?

All of a sudden, he was a great leader?

RIP to him, but it doesn’t change the fact that he was a typical African dictator, more in love with power that good governance.

Someone sent me a video of these hoodlums yesterday gathering to stone one suv that was in traffic.

I was just so sad. The occupants had to abandon their suv and run, before police eventually came to their rescue.

So to defend Nigerians honor in South Africa, you are going to further harass Nigerians here by stoning their vehicles and looting their means of livelihood? Or you are going to stone any white person, even if that person may be American or British? Where the people looting and maiming Nigerians in South Africa white?

Men Nigerians can be something else sometimes.

Any small chaos in Nigeria and these area boys just come out from their hiding spots and start destroying vehicles, stealing peoples property, maiming people, it's just so sad really.

I wish I could post the video here for you guys to see how barbaric it was.
Politics › Re: BREAKING!!! Angry Youths Set MTN Office On Fire by VaselineCrew: 2:27am On Sep 04, 2019
baby124:
They are losing a lot. The goods in Shoprite are owned by Shoprite. Last last a few jobs will be lost but this will hit the SA owners hard. MTN office may be franchised if it’s not their head office, but most franchises are stocked with parent company equipment and supplies.
Actually, the goods in Shoprite are mostly owned by Nigerians.

Check any food item for instance, like cashew nuts and check the back, it will most likely say, "Packaged in Lagos".

In fact, almost all the peanuts(groundnuts), cashews and so on are made in Nigeria.

What sellers do, is they have a contract with Shoprite to display and sell their items and probably remit a portion of their sales back to shoprite, sort of like how sellers sell on Konga and Jumia.

So if you had say popcorn that you made and packaged in your house, you could list them on the shelves of Shoprite after working out a deal with management.

Even the beef and chicken they sell are slaughtered in Nigeria as well.

You are in competition with only your Local government folks (At least, one per LGA unless in special cases where there are two exceptional scores from same LGA, both will be congratulated)... This is my thought right now, though
