now i know your mekanic is not good at all. kaya pala nagpalit sya valve seals without changing the piston rings considering the fact na may lumalabas na oil sa breather mo and that nagbabawas pa ng langis. kung sana konting usok lang lumalabas sa breather at wala oil, baka pwede pa valve seals ang sira. pati ba naman carburator hindi nya kabisadong baklasin? naku po. simple lang naman ang loob ng carburator. yong pagbabawas ng langis, usok sa breather, low mileage at yong pabago bago na rpm ng engine mo are indicators na kailangan mo pa dukot makina mo kung ok pa sleeve. other wise, general overhauling na pag malalim na gasgas sleeve ng engine block mo. 5k kasi makina mo so maaring walang talsik sa oil filler kahit may tama na makina mo kasi nga rocker arm yong design nong cylinder head mo. i also suggest, subukan mo ibang mekaniko.

mura lang naman magpa overhaul sa gasoline engines di gaya ng diesel.

Sir, marami mga mekaniko ay di kabisado ang pag overhaul ng karburador. It is one of the complicated parts supplying fuel to the engine. kaya nga meron talaga diyan gma carburettor specialist para sa ganoong klaseng trabaho. Pero if the mechanic has sound ideas regarding the workingprinciple of this gadget, maayos din. It just concerns with the idle speed, lean/rich mixture, fuel flow at full throttle, at immediate response of closing the fuel feed upon releasing your foot from the pedal, otherwise, nabubulunan ang makina or nag run away speed.
Even me, na walang kamuwang muwang regarding this gadget, nabaklas ko at nalinis ang karburador ng 4K engine ko. Yun nga lang, di pala iyon ang problema but the fuel pump

. di nagibibgay ng tamang bomba kaya natutuyuan ang resevoir ng karburador

well, i just got another fx. its a clone of my maroon fx i posted in this forum last year. its a 96 model GL with 3c turbo engine. i just installed a roof carrier, a bulbar infront and at the back, personalized a black/red german leather seat cover, put some crome on the door lock and a crome grill at the tail light, changed the steering wheel to a wood steering wheel and bought a new 14" magwheels. i'll post the pictures later. it may help fellow fx lovers to improve how thier fx looks.

Sa akin hindi nagbabawas ng langis kasi kung may diprensiya na ang piston ring mo natural lang na maging mausok at kumain ng langis . Tignan mo rin sa ilalim ng makina baka may tagas sa oil pan gasket, drain plug at iba pa sa makina na dahilan para magbawas ng langis.

thank you very much mga sirs you have been all a good help!!!

the water pump that you bought is okay. thats one of reliable water pump for 2c and 3c engines. but the timing belt you got is quite not good with that price. you should have bought the original one. unitta is the name of the genuine timing belt with a brown color plies. the price is more or less 2,100. timing belts which price is lower than 1,500 are not geniune. the reason why i encourage the use of genuine timing belt is that, there are a lot of timing belt that snaps even just a week after it was replaced. swerte mo bro kung yong nakuha mo ay tatagal. ang problema kasi, pag naputulan ka ng timing belt, marami masisira sa cylinder head mo specially when you are at high speed at the time na naputol. well, local replacement parts can be used but i advise you to use genuine parts when you are replacing parts inside the engine. timing belt is one of the critical part of the engine and if this will snap, you expect much damage on the engine which will translate to a huge budget to repair.

Sir Kuligligko,

I have been an avid reader of this forum since becoming a member a couple of months back when I bought my first ride which is a Toyota FX from a classmate friend who owns an auto shop. My ride, by the way, has a 2c Turbo engine. I truly enjoy reading your posts, as they are not only informative but practical as well. I applied most of the things na naipost mo regarding FX engines and its really nice to hear from you again. Akala ko nga di na kayo magpo-post. Been going back and forth to this forum to see kung may bagong info kayo na shinare. Your posts and comments about the Tamaraw FX being a practical ride and suits most Filipino family made me felt good about the purchase I made. In fact, na test drive nang husto yung FX ko when it was used as a delivery van for I.T. equipments na ang destination was Vigan, Ilocos Sur. It carried 30+ units with LCD monitors pa. Suffice to say, smooth ang biyahe at kayang kaya yung load. The next trip we took, which was about 2 weeks after the trip to Vigan was papuntang Isabela naman. This time puno sya ng pasahero. Around 12 persons ang laman. Akala ko nga baka mahirapan sa Sta. Fe but to my surprise, it rode thru the mountains without any problem. Even sa city driving wala ako negative na masabi except yung kaunting tagtag which I think will be solved kapag mapalitan ko ng mas magandang shocks kaysa dun sa nakakabit ngayon.

By the way, just last week bumigay ang water pump nya and di ko matrace ang reason but I have suspected na baka nalimutan lagyan ng kapatid ko yung radiator ng tubig coz madalas nya pagpractisan idrive yung FX ko sa subdivision namin. Or maybe **** happens lang talaga. Anyway, since I consider you as an authority with regards to the FX, ask ko naman po yung maco-consider nyo na good brand for the water pump. I plan to purchase what you will recommend. Also since I went canvassing na rin via telephone am curious that some auto supply are asking kung pang 2c or 2c turbo ba ang water pump na inquire ko. Talaga bang magkaiba ang water pump for 2c lang at 2c turbo? Looking forward to your reply. At saka sa mga fellow forum members, kung mayroon kayong mai-add na info, its definitely welcome.

Sir Kuligligko, keep up with the good work of posting great information regarding the beloved FX.

gmb is a good brand for the water pump. i dont think magkaiba ang water pump for turbo and non turbo. but anyway, kung original na 2c turbo (flat top yong cover ng cylinder head) makina mo sabihin mo na lang na 2c turbo. pero kung yong original 2c ordinary engine (with vacuum on top of the cover) na nilagyan ng turbo, thats definitely none-turbo. pero as far as i know, pareho lang yang water pump for turbo and none-turbo. sabi mo bumigay ang water pump. kadalasan pag bumigay water pump, may tumutulong tubig sa front ng makina galing sa tapat ng timing belt. so pag nagpalit kayo water pump, pa check mo na rin kung okay pa timing belt since babaklasin din naman.
