Overhaul or not?

[ian_rex]

ok . overhauling lang naman ang pinag uusapan dito, post ko lang yung mga gumugulo sa isip ko.

when is the best time to have an overhaul?

what is the mileage before having an overhaul?

the last time na nag-overhaul kami is yung sa lumang toyota corona 1980, 200K++ kms on odometer.

now i'm contemplating on overhauling my engine of 1996 civic lxi with 144++ kms on odometer.

medyo mahina na yung makina. although wala pa namang tagas or di pa naman kumakain ng langis or umuusok.

also if hindi malaki ang tama ng cylinder walls, pwede naman oversize rings lang ang gamitin. no need to rebore. all the mechanic will do is for you to borrow new rings from the auto supply, install it in the cylinder and measure the gap if it is acceptable. most cylinder walls are not damaged that much unless na overheat na ang engine.

Also having high mileage engine does not always mean that it needs an overhaul, as long as normal lang ang operation ok lang yan. dont fix it if it aint broken.

baka tune-up lang or valve adjust (mayrun pa ba i-aadjust sa honda?) lang.

magpa overhaul ka na lang mas garantisado kesa palit engine

[odell]

kung ako palit engine na konti lang difference.. un mga surplurs naman may mga sariwa din. checheck mo lang..

ian_rex,
inaadjust lang yan or pakalikot mo lang konti sa honda tuner pag hatak lang ang problema

[speedyfix]

overhaul when it's smokey or leaky. not because mahina hatak. that should be able to be remedied by an oil change, tb cleaning, routine maintenance.

so far mga sirs, ok lang naman yung car ko, di na nga masyadong ginagamit saka kaka PMS lang nun. siguro naninibago lang ako dahil mas madalas ko gamitin yung turbo diesel na lintik sa torque.
