    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.

    hello would like to ask which machine shop did you ask for the rework and what are the things that would be done with the head just had my diesel head brought to a machine shop along aurora boulevard near the computer malls in gilmore they are charging me 6k just for valve seat valve guide crack test head gasket reface i think they are over charging me and also they are asking me to chage my intake exhaust valve but my valves cost about 150 a piece i dont know if there is a difference with gas and diesel valves but all in all projected cost of the whole thing to have the whole engine probably rebuit would come to about 24k if i change my pistons also

    B168,

    Ok na yan presyo dahil 16 valves ang pinagawa ni NWinter. Kung wala kang mechanic you can sometimes avail the mechanics discount/commission. That is why close ako sa machine shops na pinagagawan ko dahil nakukuha ko yung discount kasi ako din naman ang mechanic ko.

    ho can you tell kung ok yung surplus head by just looking at it? di mo naman malalaman kung pantay pa yan without the help of a machine shop.

    imo, use your old head unless may crack na. that way alam mo you repaired it properly and are not using a head that has been sitting in a junk pile for a long time.

    Guys, thanks for all the suggestions... I was able to get the overhaul done with a different mechanic for < 7k, including parts. Buti na lang hindi ako kumagat dun sa una
