thank you v6dreamer for your reply.just this morning a fren of mine's mechanic saw my engine he said even if the sicunia is the only problem it has to be machine fit..it cost almost 15k plus the labor(8k)-"parang over hauling din daw".is the labor just right for the job? im considering looking for a japan replacement engine but i dont have any idea how much it will cost(engine + labor) thank you mga sir!
