May posibility na magamit mo pa din ang engine na after it's back all things na kailang ikanga 50/50 change, pero the performance change, I had my expirence on nag stuck ang engine due to overheat natangal ang water jacket ng engine, after na mapalitan umandar pa din naman pero it change, hindi na ako maka 120km na takbo at after a year na gamit parang pasama ng pasama ang engine, ngayon due na for overhaul....

pacheck mo muna sa isang reliable mechanic. Baka kailangan lang to change the parts that needs replacement and there is no need to have it overhaul.

safe driving.
