    Guys, I desperately need your advice.

    Nag overheat yung kotse ko last week and now kailangan na daw ng top overhaul dahil naghalo na yung tubig at langis. It's a Lancer 95 GLXi and the estimated cost is around Php 29.4K!

    -- 5.5K labor overhaul
    -- 10.4K replacement of 16 valves (*650 each manipis na daw)
    -- 9K for the kit
    -- 4.5 for the machine shop

    Any idea how much it would cost if I just have the engine replaced? Is it easy to get the same engine to avoid additional cost? Any recommended suppliers?

    Really appreciate the help. Thanks.

    bili ka nalang ng surplus head, pa-crak-test mo,ok pa...mabilis na trabaho

    pagpapalit ka ng engine kunin ko 4g92(1.8L) MIVEC or non-MIVEC may 4g92 turbo din..para sulit ka sa palit makina...

    naghahalo talaga ang oil at 2big pag na putol ang head gasket,dahil nag over heat makina mo pero my time na nakukuha pa pag palitan mo lng head gasket kung ayaw mong malaking gastos,dukot lang.sabay asinta barbula.

    Neverwinter,

    Simple lang yan problem mo kaso mahal ang singil sa iyo. As long as your cylinder head is not warped its easy to bring it back to the way it was. You can buy a surplus head but what is wrong about replacing new valves, valve seats and valve guides on your existing head?

    If cost is the problem. What I can suggest is buy a set of replacement valves but buy an OEM valve seat and guide(if it needs replacement). Sana balitaan mo kami on your progress. Good Luck!

    almost 30K for a top overhaul??? mahal yan pre. try mo yung suggestion nung isa. hanap ka ng surplus head. piliin mo yung ok pa (sama mo trusted mechanic wag yung nagbigay ng estimate sa iyo). then kabit. palit head gasket at timing belt na din.

    ipa check mo muna cylinder head. kung ok pa, c. head gasket nalang palitan mo. valve seals and guide, palitan mo na rin. kung defective na talaga c. head, surplus kana. but you need to buy new valves, to be sure na sakto talaga. one more thing and very impt, look for another mechanic. taga ka dyan.
