Never even had a top overhaul. tappets lang ang inadjust that requires taking off the valve cover. syempre other wear and tear parts pinalitan including timing belt change and occasional tb cleaning. every 10k oil change interval and palit oil filter every 5k. 1st owner po kami. hehe
- kaya nga mao-overhaul pa rin yan kasi hindi lahat ng parts ay designed to last a lifetime. Matagal kung sa matagal but ilan ba mileage kasi?


Pero if you want to make your vehicle conform to its performance standard kasi, eventually nga kahit top overhaul, aabutin talaga. Yan yung siguro masasabi ko talagang magaling mag-alaga, top overhaul lang kelangan so hindi big dea na overhaul.

Hindi ko sinasabi na sirain engine ha kahit yung mga old ones. all I'm saying is eventually, kahit anong alaga, aabotan ka pa rin ng some form of overhaul. Wag umasa ng sobra.
