Timing Belt

[wilnor]

My officemate owns a 2002 Adventure M/T, last week he took his car to Subic for a business trip, when he return we notice that his engine has a different sound than before, last night his timing belt broke, so mga mgkano kaya pag ganito? Ang alam ko dami madadamay di ba?

posible rin na baka tumukod na makina niyan. worst case scenario niyan, overhaul

It is certain that there will be valve damage. That will require pulling the head off the engine, Machine work , and several parts. It will be an expensive repair to have done. Hopefully the engine it is not an inteference engine, it will be okay, but most engines today are inteference meaning that the tolerances are closer together. I would find someone who is familiar with adventure, I mean the real good one. good luck

we just receive the proposal from Citimotors Alabang, they gave us 2 proposals actually, the first one cost 50k for all the parts to be replaced/ repaired, the other one 24k for labor only top overhaul daw e, wow , i feel sorry for my friend, any idea where could we bring his car to other reputable shops? Kahit makatipid man lang sana kahit 20k malaking bagay na iyon,

One more question, I've notice that thier proposal is itemized, it includes all the parts to be replaced including the cost of each, last week when my wife went to Honda Dagupan City to have our car check because we have a transmission leak (my wife lives there actually), they quoted her 6k but they didn't indicated in their proposal what are the items need to be replace or replaired, just the whole amount, is this normal on some CASA? or do I have to insist on them to give me the exact details on their proposal?

normally quotations on casas are detailed, including parts, labor and even consumables and shop supplies.

back to the timing belt question. nung tinirik ba sya, pinwersa pa ba nya istart? pag pinwersa nya, medyo mababaluktok ang mga valves nyan.

and oh, can i ask anong km/odo reading nung advie nya ngayon? possible ba na nakalimutan nyang ipa change TB when it reached 70-80k kms?

ganun ba bat sa honda dagupan ayaw ng ganun, at least kung ayaw ilagay ng detailed baka tinataga lang kami.

regarding timing belt, ang sabi sakin kasi ngpagas daw sya sa shell and after that when he was about to leave ayaw na daw umandar, I'm not with him at that time so I really don't know the exact details, 97k na reading nun, nakalimutan nga nya ipapalitan TB sa sobrang busy ng work namin sometimes he don't have time to have it check. Wawa naman

No matter how busy the job is, thats not an excuse. If your friend have time to eat, so with the car. He could at least drop the car at any shop in the morning and pick it up in the afternoon. There is no pointing finger here, but an expensive lesson to learn.

50 grand maybe its about right. This is a major engine rebuild if could go up more depends on the damage. His first priority is to get the job done right the first time. Thinking saving money are good to be true.. one thing you know one problem after another if other shop didnt to it right. Bring it to the specialist. I would!
