Cylinder head bolts paps, ginagamitan ng Torque Wrench yun, hindi basta basta higpit lang at may sequence yung paghigpit ng position ng bolts.

Hindi head gasket yung fault paps, Mechanic's failure to use proper tools yun. Hindi na-torque tighten yung cyl-head bolts kaya nag warp yung head mo.

Ano na ba ang status ngayon?

bro, ang question ko. tama kaya yung mechanic fr binan? gumamit sya ng torque wrench, nahihigpitan pa daw nya dun sa ibabaw, kaya ang diagnosis nya, di daw cylinder head gasket ang source ng leak. ala daw diperensya yung cylinder head gasket. kaya oil seals ang pinagawa ko kasi yun ang recommendation nya.

nung sabado pa ginawa yung oil seals. at this point, di ko pa masabe kung naayos na yung makina kasi di ko pa nalilinis yung mga patse ng oil dun makina, so di ko pa malalaman kung may bago ngang tagas. ala na kasing araw pag dating ko dito haws kaya di ko maasikaso.

Neat dismantling Sir Dongskie!

pag ganyan na ba hitsura, pwede na palitan yung ilaw sa odometer, temp,?

[chito2011]

Hope hindi nag warp yung cylinder head nyo sir. Given the scenario, your mechanic at parañaque didn't follow the crucial procedure in tightening the head bolts, which is critical in the engine's stability.

Hope the re-tightening addressed your leaks

nag overheat daw (nag overheat naman talaga ako, sa pagkatanda ko siguro mga more than 3 times) kaya nasira cylinder head gasket. so recommendation nya palitan ang cylinder head gasket. kaya bumili ako ng cylinder head gasket fr Toyota. pero di nga natuloy dahil iba naman recommendation nung mechanic from biñan. magulo ba ang kwento ko, bro? he he he sori kung medyo

Pwede naman paps, pero masikip pa rin ng konti lalo na sa mga malalaking kamay hehe...

Mas maganda kalasin talaga yung instrument panel para lubusan na ang pag gawa at linis, pininturahan ko rin yung loob ng panel ng white para hindi na alikabukin.

[Dongskie]

Nalito nga ako, hehehe..

Sir pinaka maganda niyan ay ipa engine wash mo ng mabuti para matanggal lahat ng oil marks.

From there afterwards makikita mo na kung may leaks pa or wala na.

Yung pa palit ng lahat ng oil seals ay most prefered sir specially kung top overhaul, hence "OVERHAUL".

From that point after the overhaul, dapat ay wala ng tatagas na langis

Di ko lang magets yung chronological events hahaha

Sir Chito,

I tried back-reading and here's what I understand: (Nagpa-overhaul ka kasi kumakain na ng langis at may leaks, then nung ma overhaul nag overheat naman dahil may mali at may kulang pala sa cooling system, you tried installing an auxiliary fan to address the overheating and it did. After sometime, may moist of oil leak na coming somewhere the cylinder head and front of your engine. You brought your FX at Cargard and then they changed the oil seal and torque tightened the cylinder head bolts due to findings of insufficient tightening.) This is what I understand, please do correct me if im wrong or something's missing.

Based on the above, I believe that due to the frequent (3 times) overheating, either your cylinder head MIGHT have warped already or your head gasket might have been burned due to the extensive heat of overheating, which of course have caused your engine, the leaks. I hope the re-tightening has already addressed the leaks, and I do also hope that my analysis is wrong.

Meron kasi specific na torque ang bawat screw nyan, meron ako manual ng 2C engine. Specified lahat ng torque.

Sir pareho tayong 2C engine baka pwedeng makahingi ng kopya ng manual; ferblona*yahoo.com di pa kasi nagreply yung sa grupotamaraw sa request ko
may konting tulo kasi ng langis yung sa akin sa mga bolt doon sa cylinder head. napalitan kasi ng piston ring ito nung 2009 at di ko nakitang ginamitan ito ng torque wrench nung mekaniko.

thanks in advance

mga paps baguio city here,blowby na rin ang tam.fx ko gl 1995,2ct.ano ang normal na pinapalitan ng mekaniko kapag blowby na at kano ang ibudget.....sa ngaun wala pang langis sa tambutso,may pressure na lumalabas sa breather with konting oil,(may inilagay nga akong OCC eh) pati sa deepstick normal ang hatak at nakakapasa pa ako sa emission test.pati na sa mga nanghuhuli sa daan hehehehe...

mga paps baka may alam din kau na nagbebenta ng buong panel gauge(km,temp,etc)sira na kc ang km/h ko di ko alam kung puwedeng marepair.kung sakali anong mods ang ginawa nyo para meron kaung active na km/h gauge dito ko kc based ang changed oil ko...maraming salamat sa mga comments

mga bro,

the tightening of the screw was done by the mechanic from cargard to test the cylinder head gasket. he did it to prove that it was not the cylinder head gasket, but the oil seals. and I quote "o tingnan mo nasa no. ____ (he mentioned a number but I forgot) na yung torque wrench, ibig sabihin nahihigpitan ko pa, ibig sabihin hindi cylinder head gasket ang problem."

teka I post ko yung hitsura ngayon ng front ng makina ko... tingnan nyo kung may maitutulong sa pag analyze natin he he he. kuha ko to kaninang umaga lang...

[chito2011]

this was taken last Saturday (sept 14) nung pagkatapos mapalitan ng oil seals nung mechanic from cargard...

[chito2011]

dongski & jvnj: from those 2 images, kung naremedyuhan ang leak ng oil seals ng fx ko, san dapat hindi tatagas na parte dito?

yung bandang baba ng image na may mga bahid ng oil sa gilid ay tapat ng cylinder head gasket di ba?

[siopaonatoasted]

Di kaya yung oil seal yan nung mga gasket na related sa timing belt?

[chito2011]

ilan ba ang oil seals ng makina? eto yung location ng mga oil seals na pinalitan..

Posibleng sa front oil seal ng camshaft or oil pump nagmula yung oil leak paps.

Sana naman na engine wash man lang before or after ginawa yung engine mo, nakita ko yung sludge eh

pa engine wash ko tomorrow. sana umaraw

[dr. d]

kung gusto mong umulan, ask me to wash my car.
it always rains after i wash my car.. even in the summer..!

Sir Chito,

Given the images above, I think napalitan naman lahat ng oil seals. As for now it is best to observe first after the engine wash. Also, I would recommend opening the timing belt cover (yung sa ibabaw lang) after a week or two para malaman kung may oil stains o wala yung timing belt area. BTW, nung binuksan ba Bro sa Cargard e malangis na yung timing belt?
