Bale sir naka 2c-t ka pero sobrang usok na, walang power tapos may mga tagas ng langis? Kasi parang sobrang mahal naman po ng overhaul. Parts and labor yun sir?
Hanap ka ng ibang shop sir.
Kung for keeps ang fx nyo upgrade to 3c-t, kung may balak benta, pagawa nyo muna yung sira para di naman mapahiya sa next owner.

No idea how much 3c-t din dito, baka between 50-70 din. Ang masaklap pa, baka di na sariwa. Better pa overhaul nalang yung existing motor kung kaya pa at least sure kayo na bago ang mga parts. Ang problema nalang eh yung gagawa. Dapat alam nya yung ginagawa nya. Yung walang backjob.
Peace out!

nakalimutan kong bangitin na blowby man ang tam ko at may konteng talsik ng langis mula breathter pero, wala pang lumalabas na langis sa tambutso at hindi pa nagbabawas.sa power naman pakiramdam ko maganda pa kasi 3rd gear pa ako paakyat.taga baguio po ako tas hindi mausok.nakakalusot pa naman ako sa mga nanghuhuli dito

ibig sabihin pasado pa.peace

Tune-up lang siguro kelangan nyan sir. Ipa compression test mo tapos ipa calibrate yung injectors. Check for engine oil leaks, coolant leaks. Flush ang radiator mas maganda lavramon. Yung exhaust system check kung may butas/singaw, kasi nawawala din ang turbo power dun. Ayos pa yang makina nyo boss. Save yourself from much more headache.

Peace out!

sorry, ngayon lang ako ulit nag online.

i forgot my userid & pword. buti na lang andito pa yung post ko he he he

sir, napa overhaul ko na yung fx ko pero. kinabukasan nung pagkatapos ko maiuwi, may napansin na akong konting moist ng langis sa ibabaw ng makina. I thought normal lang yun. after 3 months, lumala yung tagas ng langis, nagkaroon ng maraming patse dun sa may harapan (malapit sa timing belt).

btw, before pa ma overhaul (I think top overhaul lang ginawa, 17k rin singil ng mekaniko labor & material), pinarekta na ng bayaw ko yung temp gauge ng fx. di d ako sure kung tama ang pagkaintindi ko. basta nung na overhaul, ibinalik ng mekaniko dun sa original set up nya, parang ikinabit na ulit nya yung tubo from radiator to the engine. pero dun nagkaproblema, sira yung exhaust fan so nag ooverheat sya kahit konting trapik lang. sabe ng mekanikong nag overhaul, ito raw dahilan kung bakit nagkaroon ng leak dun sa makina. papalitan daw ng cylinder head gasket.

I need an advice or second opinion kung tama nga yung mekaniko. pero parang tama naman. langya, P800 na exhaust fan lang pala katapat nung pag ooverheat

btw, bumili na ako ng cylinder head gasket sa Toyota (P1900) at papakabit ko na sana this week dun sa mekaniko. gusto ko lang magkaroon ng ibang opinion abt sa nangyare sa pag overhaul ng fx.

thanks in advance!

Why not try to have your engine analyzed / checked by another technician in a more reputable shop. Kung baga sa doktor e second opinion (actually mas marami, mas maganda, libre naman check-up) . Baka lang may mali o kulang dun sa ginawa nung unang mekaniko. Sippage of oil out of the engine is not normal, lalo pa't bagong overhaul kanyo. At tsaka yung overheat eh naku, masama po yun sa makina. BTW, ano yung exhaust fan na sinasabi nyo? Auxiliary fan ba? Yung fan ba na de motor na kinakabit sa harap (Labas ng makina) ng radiator? Actually, kung maganda po yung cooling system ng isang makina, di na kelangan ng auxiliary fan. Yung mechanical fan na nakakabit sa makina (suppose okay pa yung silicon oil) should be sufficient enough to cool your radiator. It was designed that way.

Again Sir, try to have your engine diagnosed by a good technician.

auxiliary fan nga, sorry.

yes, yung talagang pagtagas ng oil sa makina ay di normal. medyo nakakainis talaga ang lumang sasakyan lalo na at ala pa akong alam masyado.

anyway, thanks for the reply.

Sir chito2011,

Don't be discouraged. Lahat halos ng nagkaron ng lumang sasakyan dumaan sa pagbubusisi. Look at the bright side, at least nadagdagan experience ninyo. So next time at least you have an idea already. Remember Sir that nothing would beat the great feeling of solving the problem by yourself. One step at a time, dadating din kayo dun!
