4JA1 Engine, Are there any problems?

[tomtom]

bago ka magpa-emission test maglagay ka ng biodiesel. it will help you pass the test. that's what i do every registration.

1 liter biodiesel to a half full tank or less para matapang. then bomba ng accelerator bago pumunta sa emission testing center. labatiba na rin.

Sir, ask ko lang, yung biodiesel na sinasabi nyo is the one sa seaoil?

biodiesel na sold in bottles yan. sa flying v molino ako bumubili wala kasi sa mga auto supply na malapit dito sa amin. kaya pinagtyatyagaan ko na bumibili sa flying v. php156/bottle ang kuha ko. 1 litter na sya. mas mura sana kung di sa gas station mismo. tapos sa petron ako nagpapakarga ng diesel.

baka meron dyan na nakakaalam kung saan nakakabili ng biodeisel dito sa cavite, las piñas or muntinlupa na mura help naman

may ganito pa ba sir na binebenta per bottle...yung nakikita ko kasi nakahalo na as kinakarga na diesel as per sabi ng mga gas attendants. kung meron man benta na per bottle, saan po kaya and how much?

eh ang paghalo ga po ng biodiesel eh rekomendado parin? hindi ga po me halo ng 10% yung nabibili nating diesel, eh di ga ho makakasama sa sasakyan kung dadagdagan natin ng biodiesel, yung me halo ng diesel na pinapakarga natin?

Mga Sir's paano po ba malalaman if na break-in na po ba ang isang engine? TIA po

If i remember, one thing is during early morning start-ups, saglit lang dapat yung white smoke coming from exhaust.

Thanks po sa reply sir, obserbahan ko po yun

[sanik]

Hello mga sir ask ko lang may naririnig kasi akong noise coming from transmission parang nag huhumming sya kapag naka shift na sya from 1st gear to 5th gear and reverse pag naka neutral wala naman ako naririnig na humming. naririnig ko lang yung humming sound kapag umaarangkada na kapag binitawan ko naman yung accelerator pedal nawawala yung humming sound atsaka ang hirap ipasok ng kambyo parang may sabit tapos yung clutch ko parang ang tigas.

what if white smoke tends to appear always?

This might help you.

White smoke is normally ‘steam’ which means water is vapourising! If it is white ‘smoke’ then it could be as a result of low engine temperature. White Smoke will smell of unburned diesel - White ‘Steam’ will not!.

AFAIK, puwede lagyan yung old school diesel ng 2T sa fuel tank para makatulong sa decarbonizing. 128:1 ang ratio para safe. Done it already. No problems so far. Still checking the FC if it will improve but i doubt it. Decarbonize lang talaga.

sir 128 ml of 2t is to 1 liter of diesel? ganun po ba ang ratio? sorry newbie

Sir, black smoke po yung unang lumabas, then followed na ng white smoke... Ok lang po ba yun? TIA

pag black smoke,it means,kelangan i decarbonized or i flushed mo ng tubig yung tambutso mo bro...ganyan kadalasan ko ginagawa...pag white smoke naman,kahit mainit na makina mo or malayo na tinakbo mo,pero visible talaga yung white smoke,then sa nozzle na yan,mauling na yung nozzle mo kya hindi na "mist" yung buga ng diesel sa combustion chamber...

pero according to your post,mukhang pareho mong kelangan gawin yan...parang medyo kulang ka sa maintenance,hehe...saka yung white smoke,di lang mabaho,masakit pa sa mata...mura lang naman palinis ng nozzle...yung paglinis ng tambutso,pwede na sa carwash yun or kung may hi pressure ka,I DIY mo nalang...

Sir magkano po pag magpapalinis ng nozzle? TIA

hi there sir! Im also a 4ja1 engine owner. recently i just bought a hilander mdl 97 from a good friend of mine, at first everything else in my car seems to be in perfect condition not to mention the engine. but lately ive noticed that everytime i drove the car in long trips especially during hot and humid day and try to check my engine oil dipstick lever i notice a white smoke coming out from it with a little bit air pressure and there are times that the oil dipstick lever puffed up which i believe due to the air pressure inside the engine. is my engine are in need for total overhaul already??? hope u could help me and give me some advise! thank you and godbless!

[ejcarino]

wala naman problema 4ja1 engine.. un nga lang medyo mabagal pero kaya sumabay sa akyatan.. hamunin mo ang advie at innova vs crosswind kahit may 2rbo pa ang innova sasabay parin sa akyatan yan or mang iiwan..

Sign of blow-by yan. Better have a compression test. Search mo lang dito mga threads regarding where to go for compression tests.

Or better yet, go to a tructed mechanic.

[Dave John]

Agree talaga aku sa inyo mga fellow tsikotters masyado talaga mausok at saka tapang ng amoy. Everytime nga pag pinapainit ku ang engine uma.alma yung mother ku kasi umaabot sa aming bahay ang usok. Hehe!

Malakas tlaga mg vibrate ang xwind tapos mabagal din ang takbo.
Pero as of now wala pa naman akung na encounter na major probz sa xwind. maintenance lang....

Imediate concern ba pag ganito bro?

Thanks.

[Benzmizer]

Thanks.

Sure, the vehicle would still run but performance would be compromised (as signs begin to show). As I was told, lahat naman ng diesel engines are "Blow by".... I guess what matters is to what extent is it blow by. Kaya as Ry suggested, best to confirm what steps are required to remedy this..... likely an overhaul.

Thanks sir Benz, naitanong ko rin lang kasi meron din akong na-observed na minimal amount of smoke coming out from the dipstick hole, so far wala pa naman akong nararamdamang pagbabago sa performance ng unit ko as to power, fuel consumption, decline in oil level however, this is one of the signs that my engine is already aging and should not be taken for granted.

Thanks.
