Well this statement says a lot!!!!

Remember that dealers will do anything just so they can milk every hard earned depreciated peso out of your pocket. I wonder how they (the service advisor) made the conclusion that your Adventure is in need of a top overhaul???

I really smell a big stinking rat... Tell your wife to pull out the unit and wait for your arrival...

Oh and just like what the other posters above mentioned, take it to a mechanic who can do a compression test...

Oh man...

Let's just hope for the best...

My 2 cents: If there's anything else the casa will ask your wife to have done on your car I strongly suggest to hold and await your arrival....

hindi ko na nga binusisi sir kasi na offend din yung mrs ko(initiative kasi niya yun)...

kaya i just keep to myself, sayang tlga...

i hope na lang na ok pagkagawa ng casa...

Top overhaul would be my next DIY as soon as i get that special tool from angeles....

Usually palit valve seal, grind valves and seats, clean head, head gasket as well as oil change...yung valve stem nga kung minsan di na pinapalitan ng iba.

thanks for sharing your insights. i find your response is one of the most appropriate. do you belong to a group? I am new here and not yet familiar on how to go about it.

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

Hi. Regarding top overhaul:

May tagas ng langis sa ilalim ng makina. Maraming shop na pinatingnan ko at pare-pareho sinabi nila. Sa cylinder at gasket daw ang problema (posible rin sa valves).

Pina-engine wash ko at wala namang tagas sa ibang lugar.

Presyo sa Shell Meralco, Marikina:

Top Overhaul labor - 2800
Machine Shop (cylinder refacing) - 5000
Parts - ?

Mga 10k daw ang damage. Sakto lang ba to?

Magkano ba cylinder gasket? Replacement vs OEM?

TIA.
