Change Engine Toyota Corolla

[Chellay]

help po, pag about sa engine na eh medyo basic na yun knowledge ko dyan. Sa maintenance lang po ako ehehe, alam mo naman ang girl, tanong tanong lang ako sa mga frends guyz ska sinasakyan ko narin ang hilig nyo'ng mga guyz "cars".

Anwae ang question po eh, hindi ko po alam kung mag papalit ako ng engine or papaayos ko na lang (overhaul thing). kung papaayos ko eh! Parts to buy: intake/exhaust valves, valve guides, valve seals, valve seats, overhauling kit, pistons, piston rings, main bearings, crankshaft bearings, oil seals, etc. an approxiamate of 20T depende sa pa sa brand plus labor, more or less nsa 25T-30T. ang advantage dto eh alam mong brand new yun mga parts na ilalagay mo sa engine, unlike kung bibili ako ng surplus na engine eh wala rin akong ka siguraduhan ang sabi nyo nga dto eh chambahan lang,

d gud thing sa change engine eh, from 1.3 pede ko na kunin yun 1.6 or kahit 2.0, na feel kong engine eh yun silvertop, kesa sa hihorse (mas mabilis ito) pero m mores a mukang bago yun engine/malinis, yun hihorse daw eh 89 pa yun, pro bsta mas bet ko yun silver top, m not into mabilis naman, yun tama lang alam mo naman sa pinas, & hindi naman ako kakarera, andun parin ako sa itatagal ng engine & hindi malakas kumain ng gas.

So ano yun mga dapat kong i consider sa change engine? yun mga naka pag palit na ng engine dto share nyo naman yun na experience nyo.??

Sa evangelista ako tumingin, silvertop yun price nya 25/26T plus kabit 15T i ma-minus pa yun stock engine, pumunta ako sa autosolution mukang maganda ang service, & dami nag papaayos sa kanila lahat palit makina, pero mahal 70T lahat lahat na yun NO HEADACHES, magaling mag tuning, & nsa circuit racing cla plus yun gamit nila eh toyota corolla, palit lahat brakes, transmission, gastank, half cut kumbaga, unlike kaw yun bibili makamura ka nga pero hindi ko pala alam yun mga ibang parts pang bibilin, parang masyadong risky & magastos advantage nga lang eh matutu ka, parang from scratch kaw yun mag assemble

miss chellay,

mukhang "nalilito ka" (joke lang)... kasi gusto mo ng big engine (1.6 or 2.0) pero gusto mo matipid sa gas at hindi mo rin naman ikakarera....

Honestly, you have to decide your goal muna:

1) Overhauling really rely on the parts that you bought and the mechanic doing the job. Either way malaki rin ang risk mo.

2) Engine transplant with the same model would be your simplest option but would still carry the same risk as option 1...kasi hindi mo rin naman alam ang "health status" ng replacement engine.

If you can have a trust worthy mechanic na magaling, I'd suggest you go for option 1. One other advantage is you keep everything stock and if done right, it would be just like brandnew. Cost of 1 or 2 would really just be almost the same, mas matagal lang gawin ang number 1.

If you can't find a good mechanic to do it, why not enrol a saturday class sa meralco foundation and learn being the car mechanic, you can even use your engine as your project material so you can overhaul it for "free" and spend only on the parts....plus you learn a lot about your car pa.

last opinion ko, forget about the upgrade that would cost you an arm and leg....lalo na kung hindi mo naman planong maging or maghobby ng karerista....besides hindi tatagal ang sasakyan the way you want it kung ikakarera mo.

If you want a race car...build or buy one made for that purpose...

If you want a daily driver ride...you got one na, just fix it well...

If you want both functions...sell your ride and buy a ready made sports car.

BTW, from an experience of a friend who had to do an engine overhaul, he was more than happy with the overhaul!

However, he also found out that there were other problems with his car (cracked transmission housing) so medyo napadagdag gastos siya....

Siguro magbudget ka ng double your estimate para hindi ka mabitin.

Bakit nga pala kailangan kang magoverhaul? What happened to your engine?

[Chellay]

oo nga medyo magulo nga. tnx po, yun problem po ng engine eh malakas ng kumain ng oil wala nman leak, b4 meron leak pro napalitan ko na yun oil seal nya. jan nag pa change oil ako, march palang eh nsa 1/8 na agad (tip ng stick), wala nman tagas sa ilalim, pna chek ko, yun nga sabi overhaul na po yun spark plug ko eh basa na yun 1&2 yun 3&4 medyo palang i pa pa machine shop na daw yun valve, & yun mga piston nga po.. ano ba yun blow-by? ska pag ni rev medyo blak na yun usok sa muf..

bali ang pnaka question ko eh ano ba maganda overhaul or change engine?

[pepengtom]

blow-by - pag ni rev mo itim na usok ang lalabas

[wildthing]

kung mapagkatiwalaan mo ang mechanic at kung magaling talaga ito, go for an overhaul.

Blow-by, busted engine. your symptoms seems may problem ang pistons mo...but normally a compression test of the pistons would give you a better opinion kung busted na nga. Hindi nga lang lahat ng shop meron nitong tester na ito.

Hindi lahat ng basa ang spark plug means that it is busted. A wrong timing, busted spark plugs, problematic high tension wire as well as problematic ingnition coil would also produce that same symptoms.

If your mechanic did the assessment without any quantifiable test, maybe a 2nd opinion from a different mechanic is in order.

[Chellay]

ganun pala yun =).. hmm eh yun nga po eh, malakas ng kumain ng langis last year pa sinabi sa akin na kailangan ng ipa machine shop yun valve ko, last year nung nag pa change oil ako. eh masunrin ako hindi ko pna machine shop.

spark plug ko bosh b4 split fire nung nag palit ako ng split fire na hi tesion wire (sabay). headers din pna palitan ko 4n1 4n2 (ehehe sorry hindi ko na masyadong alam) ska muffler, actually pati air filter (bilog na color red) sorry hindi ko na alam, kse yan yun mga ni modify ng husband ko sa engine, ako kse mga accesories lang po

so wat u do yah think guys? ipa repair ko na lang instead change? yun husband ko kse mas prefer nya yun palit makina.

[odell]

change...

[wildthing]

if valve lang ang possible problem mo sa compression, that would just be a top overhaul and that would be just around 4-7K all in. Unfortunately, pag nabuksan yan at ang mga bore ay may galos na malalim/pangit baka tuloy total overhaul na yun.

I'd vote for an overhaul...provided your mechanic is good.

[badkuk]

any recommended shops that can do compression tests? i'm more or less in the same boat as ms. chellay
