Engine Problem - Adjustment

[lancer_89]

Hi there! Im a newbie here, magpapatulong lang sana ako, im having problems with my ride, its lancer 89 singkit, lately, we dinala namin yung car to a mechanic for a general engine checkup, he then advised na kailangan na palitan ang mga pistons, nung napalitan na ang pistons, sabi niya i-break-in ko muna daw at 60km top speed, wag ko muna daw ibirit. sabi din niya after 10km ibalik ko ito sa kanya para ma-i-adjust nya ang mga pistons.

Ang tanong ko lang, kelangan ba talgang i-adjust pa ang mga pistons pag pinalitan? ang problema kasi yung mekaniko na gumawa nito ay nag-abroad na; kaya laking problema sakin. Masisira kaya ito kapag ibinirit ko ng hndi pa na-a-adjust? si sir speedyfix kaya kaya ito? Pls help me; di ako makatulog sa problema kong ito. Thank you in advance.

after 10,000 kms if walang problems then ok na yan. di ko alam kung ano sinasabi ng mechanic mo... wala naman adjustment yung pistons.

In the first place, what was your complaint about the engine before you took it to the shop?

What was his initial diagnosis which made him decide to change the pistons?

So what you're trying to say is that your engine now runs worse than before you brought it to the "mechanic"?

timing mo makukuha naman sa timing belt ... kung okay yung timing mo okay yung car mo ..... usually they use a timing gun

anong adjust ng piston .. there is no such thing ... unless overhaul niya makina mo ... pero dapat na adjust na niya yan ... pag inoverhaul yan ... sabay sa pag adjust ...

ndi naman mercedes benz yung car mo no ... its not that complicated ... may nalalaman pa siyang adjust of piston ??? what the hell is that ?

I've never heard of adjusting the pistons after the break-in. Either the cylinder sleeves are properly set or they aren't.

Maybe he means he needs to double-check and re-tighten the head bolts?

Malamang pinapabalik po kayo nyan so he can re-tighten/re-torque the head bolts...

[speedyfix]

naaawa lang ako sayo kasi you patiently waited 10,000 kms with only a top speed of 60kph.

[niky]

Hahaha... I always give it a leeway of 1000 kms for the break-in then just say... fuhgedaboutit... and speed away...

Now this really started my day :D

Baka nga yun bolts and yun din tappets niya i adjust.

[Memphis Raines]

I think he meant only 10 kms break-in lang, not 10,000km...

sabi din niya after 10km ibalik ko ito sa kanya para ma-i-adjust nya ang mga pistons.

We better just recommend him to a good shop na proven credible for his peace of mind.

Maraming Salamat sa mga advise...Wala namang problem yung car nung dinala namin sa mechanic, we just want the engine to be cheked / palitan ang mga dapat palitan and everything.

mga bro, Yung sa commercial ng caltex techron, anu ba ang tawag dun sa parang martilyo na taas-baba-taas-baba? yun ba yung pistons? erpats ko kasi kausap nung dinala ito eh, i just drove my father to the mechanic tas umalis nako,silang dalawa na nag-usap, basta ang sabi nbi erpats adjustment daw ng pistons. Di kaya "valve" ang i-aadjust?

At may bago kong problema, ngayon ko lang ito naramdaman, yung kotse parang sinisinok ng konti, nararamndaman ko kasi nag-vivibrate siya sa driver seat, tapos kapag mtagal dina-drive tumataas-baba ang rpm, hina humatak pag-on ang aircon, lalo na kapag inclined o pataas ang dinadaanan ko, lagi akong namamatayan sa inclined. may idea ba kayo kung anong possible problema nito? pag patay aircon ok naman hatak niya. hayyy. magpapasko pa naman, mukhang mauubos ang bonus ko sa pagpapagawa nito.

Im planning to bring it so sir speedy next week, baka kasi masirang ulo ko sa kakaisip kung anong problema.

Patulong naman: ano ba ang "tappets"? thank you mga bro,

[speedyfix]

kung 10km lang malamang di pa makakaalis for abroad yung mechanic. mga 15-20 mins ka lang mawawala to drive 10kms... bilis naman nya tumakas kapag ganun. hehe!

[niky]

Baka nga valves.
