Oil Did Not Circulate - Damaged Engine!?!

[_Cathy_]

Cat, kelangan mo na yata mag aral ng automotive mech para ikawna mismo PMS.

Just wait for the diag results and reco by casa, then kung hindi nila i-cover ang cost out of goodwill since religious ka naman sakanila ng PMS and abnormal wear ang ngnyari, then pa second opinion ka sa labas.

But what to expect from casa if ever valvetrain problem nga? casa would just consider it as wear part since past 3yrs na. Altho low mileage, your car engine still spins everytime you start it or when get caught on traffic/short distances. Kaya sa machineries sinusukat ang life expectancy sa run-time and for cars it is 100k kms or 3yrs whichever comes first. Mukhang na-setup ka ng mga kawatan sa casa or apprentice trumabaho? goodluck.

My Dad taught me how to do it for my old car but I am afraid to mess with new cars. But I do plan to take a short course when I have the time. It's really hard to be clueless when it comes to engines etc.

Not sure on the price of the valve cover gasket but a quick call to your CASA or to Toyorama in Banawe will do.

Short city drives give more wear and tear as your engine starts and stops more, and you don't get to hit the optimal operating temperature. This is also where you can have more carbon and deposit build-up as the engine rarely stretches it's legs on the high rpm range for a long time. It's just like our bodies when we don't get proper exercise.

Having a low visco synthetic oil is good for you (i.e. the 5W-40 CASA oil) as this offers better protection during cold starts. I'd suggest before you go decide to go Liqui Moly or Royal Purple, go first to the shop and have the cylinder head opened and visual inspection done for sludge. For me that's a likely problem. It might not be major sludge problems but it may be present and the engine just needs a good flush or clean up, and a nice and long highway drive before you switch to designer oils.

If you want a good oil filter, drop CB a line. Maybe he can help get you some Baldwin BT223 filters. There are some sellers on sulit/olx as well.

I asked casa to check for sludge but my service advisor insisted that my car can't have sludge because it's new pa daw and regular PMS. They said owner parts are not allowed anymore. I wanted to buy LM and Baldwin for my gen 11 sana. It's just the same oil and filter for the 10th and 11th gen, isn't it?

nangyari sa akin yan mga 1month akong natakot at nag ipon ng pang pa opera ng engine ko..

tok tok tok talaga sa unang start..after mga 1 hour medyo humina ng kaunti..madami akong natanungan bibiyakin daw makina.

2nd 3rd 4th..pang lima may nag sabi baguhin ko daw ung langis ko from syntetic ..sinubukan ko castrol.
sabay inadjust niya ung valve tappet..pag start ko may knocking sound parin pero medyo mahina.
sabi niya hatawin ko daw ng hatawin .para daw lumapat at kung may mga bara na ay matanggal.

after 1 week .nagulat ako pag start ko sa umaga wala ng toktoktok.sound at naging normal na andar niya..


eto ung tread ko dati

Thanks for the link! So from regular oil you shifted to synthetic? I've been using synthetic ever since I got the car kasi. I wonder why casa did not mention adjusting the valve tappet.

It looks like I need to "hataw" the car as you and Vinj recommended Gaano kabilis ba ang hataw? Mapapagastos pa ko ng toll nito. haha.

Cat, any update from casa?

^ ^ ^ Ipahiram o ipa-drive mo na lang sa amin,- kami na ang hahataw....

So, what's the latest on this, please?

Service advisor told me that there's "moisture" in one of the spark plugs. They replaced all 4 spark plugs and the noise went away daw. I told them I will just get the car tomorrow and check it again on cold start.

How the heck did moisture happen to one of the plugs? Then it means something is wrong with the engine talaga? Service advisor insists that sludge cannot happen to my car daw.

Galing aircon ang mga plugs bago ikinabit...

Dapat nasunog na iyan....

possible that they sprayed it with compressed air. usually kasi walang air/water separator mga compressor or hindi na-drain yung tubig.

Yup,- CDA is not always dried air...

Minsan,- may langis pa iyang kasama...

So does that mean na damage yung engine ko? I asked for a report na nakaindicate yung spark plug with moisture just in case something bad happens to the engine in the future.

Ganiyan symptoms ba na may typewriter sound pag may moisture sa spark plug?

[crazy_boy]

mahilig kasi mag buga nga compressed air mga mechanic natin. sa pag drain ng oil, sa spark plug area, etc. kaya ayaw ko magpa buga ng compressed air sa PMS. magkakaroon pa ng moisture sa oil.

Moisture on spark plugs? Thats BS. Casa people are full of this BS..
By the time fuel burns in the chamber, those moisture should have been gone.

Baka moisture sa boot/caps. Every 10k kms sparkplug replacement diba? For sure they will charge you of SP consumable part yun.
