    Hi all,

    Just like to ask kung merun kayong idea re: the engine name/type ng Galant '89 namen. I believe it's not GTI since wala shang spoilers/kit and wala shang GTI emblem. From the rear, it says "Super Saloon". I'll provide pictures later. The car was just given to us by our uncle without proper documentation/manual.

    The reason I asked, is because I wanted to buy a new/reconditioned engine for it. Twice na shang na-baha (flooded). The first time, brake-drum lang yung pinaayos ko. The second time (ie. Ondoy), total submerged na sha. I was thinking if it's wise to just repair or replace.

    Madami nang sira yung galant namen. Kaya ko lang binubuhay is because of the sentimental value. Umpisahan ko sa makina.

    Maraming Salamat sa inyong mga inputs.

    hi 89', i would suggest na wag ka muna mag change engine, dahil, sayang ang pera. kahit ilang beses pa nabaha yan as long as hindi naman umaandar during the process ay ok lang yan. kailangan lang tuyuin at i-drain ang tubig. worst na ay i-overhaul ang engine. maghanap ka lang ng magaling at mabait - hindi tirador na mechanic. overhaul cost is 3500-5k dito sa amin. dukot is 2.5k. at ang mga pyesa ay napaka mura nowadays. lalo sa mga old models. daan ka lang sa banawe, mindanao avenue, sauyo. ang daming shops na may mga masigasig na mechanic. suggest ko din sayo mechanic ko si boy, dito sa lagro. near st anthony school and church. 09287901371. sikat sila jan mabilis kasi gumawa at mura - 80's pa shop nila. isa pa sa quirino avenue from sm fairview going nova bayan. look for the name morris miranda.
