    guys, i have a problem with front engine support, i just recently discovered na 'basag' yung kinakabitan ng screw sa mismong engine nya.. 2 yung holes nya to support the front engine, yun nga lang, basag yung sa may ilalim and it causes 'nginig' sa buong kotse, you can feel it sa sterring wheel, lalo na pag naka-reverse yung gear, you can hear unnecessary sound... i bought it second hand and my first to time ride a car kaya hindi ko alam what to check before buying...

    I checked it with my mekaniko and he said na mahirap daw yun, hindi kasi pwede basta hinangin yun kasi aluminum yung case ng engine, according to him..

    any advice po mga sirs..? is there a way to restore yung normal condition nya... btw, 2001 civic yung oto ko.. hope i can something here...

    thanks thanks....

    aluminum welding in the engine is possible must be done with extreme caution but do try ask first your mechanic if possible rebore to a bigger bolt thread in the damaged area.

    pwede po hinangin yan kaso dapat yung magaling talaga.

    basag lang naman di ba? hindi naman tangal yung buong aluminum?

    opo, basag lang yung hole na portion sa ilalim nung kinakabitan ng screw, ayaw ko na sanang pa-hinang, pero if it worsen, baka nga pahinang ko na din... mahal po ba yun?

    engine support is around 3k (quote sa GTS congressional), so kung aabot din sa ganun, pahinang ko na lang din...

    maraming salamat po sa inputs...
