Hi. Can anyone a recommend a mechanic/shop na subok ng magaling in doing top overhaul. My car is a 96 corolla gli. Better if in the Paranaque/Makati area. Thanks

Thanks. Kapag ba na top overhaul na dapat iready ko na rin ang sarili ko na malapit na rin mag major overhaul?

Ma'am I think kailangan mo handa sarili mo sa total overhaul, 12 years na kasi kotse mo baka masyado na maluag ang piston kailangan na yan re-bore.
Or baka may tama na din ang mga bearings. Pasukat mo bearing clearancee using plastik guage.

Personally I don't like dukot because base on my experience madaling bumigay ang ring at hindi na crocrosss hatched mabuti kung manual na liha lang sa bore, may portion ng ring na magiging mas malaki kain kaysa iba magiging oval ang cylinder mo.

May white smoke and oil kasi sa exhaust. Nagulat ako kasi bigla na lang maingay yung kotse dati naman tahimik na tahimik. I really appreciate your advise. You recommend na total overhaul na lang? Mga how much kaya aabutin? Natatakot kc ako magpa total overhaul kasi looking through the forums parang ang daming nagkakaproblema after ng total overhaul.

Saan pala yung mechanic na ni recommend mo? I am not familiar with other areas in Metro Manila kasi.

general overhaul kapag makitang may crack/pingas at alog sa piston rings. madalas may kasamang machine shop expenses kapag may groove na sa engine block. additonal expenses din ang worn-out engine supports na makikita kapag binaba na ang makina mo. goodluck na lang po, sana konti lang ang makitang problema sa engine ninyo.

Kapag ba magaling yung nag general overhaul, wala ng magiging problem sa engine? May nagbebenta ba ng brand new engine for my corolla? I'm so confused na tuloy. Simula ng nag 11 yung car ko, every month na lang may lumalabas na sira.

haay naku sakit lng ng ulo yan pa overhaul na yan ang dami mong intindihin as in! sino gagawa? magaling ba? marunong ba gumamit ng mga panukat? maibabalik ba sa tamang clearance at tolerance etc etc. mga pyesa anu anu ba? branded ba o hindi? anong clearance dito anong clerance dyan? alam ba nya yun or tyamba tyamba lng hindi plug and play ang mga pyesa ng makina lalo na pag nagbasa ka ng mga automotive books para maayos take note dapat mga degrees at mm.

ang nakita ko lng magaling magoverhaul tlaga ay yun mga nsa shops na nasa states na nafefeature sa mga cable chanels talagang down to the last detail yun lahat sinusukat at ikinakabit ng maayos. pag dito sa pinas ang mga gumagawa lng nyan ay yun mga high end shops na sobrang mahal manigil.

inoverhaul nga oto ko halos 20k nagastos ko after 6 months pumupugak na. buti pa itong surplus na nabili ko 3 taon na ayos pa at 17k lng nagastos ko from then on sinumpa ko na mga mekaniko!

Three keys to a good overhaul, a good mechanic/machineshop, parts (oem or replacement) and break-in period. I would suggest a compression test muna. Your symtoms could just the valve seals. My mechanic is quite near the R. Papa LRT station in Manila. Medyo malayo sa inyo but I could pm you his number.

Could be your piston rings too. Like I've said before depende sa nagpapagawa. Pede din "dukot" lang if your conrod bearings are still good...yun iba naman will opt for a full overhaul since nakababa na yun engine.
