A few questions:

What's your car and engine??
What happened to your car??
Who gave the diagnosis of your car's engine needing a top overhaul??
Did you seek second/third opinions???

A top overhaul is like major surgery you know...

Top overhaul consists of changing piston rings, refacing or replacing valves, valve guides, replacing cylinder head gasket.

Piston rings will not have to be replaced if the oil consumption or compression problem is diagnosed from cylinder head parts such as valves or valve springs.

There is something called a general overhaul where in every part of the engine is taken out, inspected and or replaced.

- since sa casa mo ipapagawa, IMO halos parang back to OEM specs yan in terms of performance and FC. Definitely a big improvement from the current state ng tsikot mo since kelangan nga ng top overhaul.

top overhaul means what reym just posted. you'll be having a close to brand new engine condition. consequently, improved performance, FC, etc.

A 2000 Adventure with 150K on the clock was sent to the casa for repainting and was told that it needs a top overhaul...

To be honest with you I smell a rat... If you have the money to burn though I agree with the above posters that it will really bring back the engine to its original specs and tolerances...

My depreciated 2 centavos: seek a second opinion....

Pa-compression test niyo po muna.

Pag pasado compression, hindi po niyan kailangan ng top overhaul.

Mura lang naman yung test, wala pang P400 for four cylinders.

At wag po kayo magtiwala sa lahat ng sinasabi ng casa ...
