    Mga bos, tatanong lang ako kc yung nissan boxtype 1989 nag ooverheat at ilan beses na rin tumirik, nun check ko my butas yun radiator kaya pinahinangan ko. Pina check ko s mekaniko ang sabi need n daw top overhaul(may tumatalsik n tubig pag inistart at hndi nakatakip yung rad cap). Ang quote sa akin 6.5k parts nd labor at 3.5k kung labor lang. Tama lang b pricing na binigay sa akin or overprice? Baka may alam kayo na mura and quality workmanship naman pa send po ng contact no. Preferable commonwealth qc yung location. Maramimg salamat

    Get first a proper compression test done before doing anything. Just because "tumatalsik yung tubig" it doesnt mean that may sira na.

    I also think it's way overpriced; get another mechanic. Best to buy your parts in Banawe as well (try Youngbros).

    kahit top overhaul nila yan kapag butas pa din un radiator masisira din, unahin nyo muna paayos un sa radiator then observe kung mag overheat pa

    Nababa na radiator at nahinang na un butas pero overheat pa rin. 5mins lng nananakbo ang taas kaagad ng temp then need ulit lagyan ng tubig yung radiator pero dun s water reservoir hind naman nababawasan.gumagana naman yun fan.

    di ko na natandaan kung magkano ang head gasket. 700 petot ata yon, im not so sure. ang labor 750 petot. kalahating araw din binanatan ng mekaniko. sa binilhan ko ng parts pinagawa. usually, sa tapat ng mga auto supply, may mga mekaniko. haggle is the name of the game.

    Check also the water pump if it's not leaking; a tell tale sign of a bad water pump is continuously dripping water when the engine is running. If you need to replace it, GMB is an okay replacement.

    Mura lang head gasket; go for OEM if you can find.

    pansin ko kasi bilis magbawas ng tubig s radiator. Kahit puno na yun radiator while the engine is running pansin talaga na bumaba yun tubig dun s mouth ng radiator pero dun s water reservoir hindi naman nagbabwas. Magkano sir yun gmb na waterpump? Need ko ngayon ng mekaniko na hindi mataas singil at quality workmanship. Bka maya ma refer ka within comonwealth qc? Tnx

    madali lang magpalit ng head gasket. any shop can do it. just look for a reputable one. gas stations can do it.
