…Gari ni Toyota corolla runx 2003. 1NZ-FE engine, mileage 261,000km.

Shida ni:

A little oil on the ignition coils, na pia oil on the threads za spark plug on 2 cylinders…Google told me about leaking valve seals…is it a major problem? How much more kms can i cover peacefully?
Oil on the side of the engine on the crank shaft…was told about crank shaft seal leaking…

Can i squeeze more life on the engine? is a slim engine a better option? Amount of money to spend if its feasible?

6th year,a daily use car, so not selling

Advice ikuje

To me ni gari…it has served me gracefully for 6 years in matters of transportation…nyinyi ‘billionaires’ wa ktalk, who drive these flatbed happy cars na mnaringa hapa…all cars are metal contraptions that can send you 6 ft under(through accident ama depression)…Be wise

That engine has an aluminum block. After such use it will warp. You may need a rebore and new valve seals as well as timing chain. Just rebuild.

Timing chain sioni haja ya kureplace…valve seals yes…cranks seal yes

From youtube, they look like simple tasks…i just hope my mech is competent. Its great having a no leaking engine bay. Though if i had the tools, i would do it myself

1nz fe should cost you 15 to 30k. Just buy another engine that should last the car another 6 years.

wheelz · July 8, 2018, 6:00pm

Warped block. You’ll need to rebuild. Changing seals won’t hold. Been there done that.

system · July 8, 2018, 6:07pm

Why have you concluded, its a warped block…The car has never overheated

system · July 8, 2018, 8:25pm

Fanya overhaul it will breathe new life to your engine. A competent Mechanic is a requirement otherwise utashindia kitu moja.
