If the valve is tighten, is the power response will drop?
Mine was this bising sound.
Too tight, no low end. Too loose, no top end. Have you done with proper break in? If so, can go back to workshop do oil change and adjust back the valve clearance..

Then harap bersabar. LOL. Engine still running in so can't really do adjustment. If it's too loose then can ask the mech to adjust back. :driver:
Kinda worry of the mech work.
The other day, i found out that he didnt tighten the distributor.
Bloody loose on both screw

Hi Sifu

i reckon the is rise of temperature. Feel really hot at the bonnet.
( My meter not functioning well ) Exceeded the service period by 20km.

Aug 2016, when my engine overheated. Overhauled already & have a new set of radiator.
I notice the bloody mechanic didnt drain all the rust away.

Crap shit.

I'm not a sifu. Still learning from everyone over here including you. :biggrin:

If it is the rise of temperature and dirty radiator, it could be due to a few reasons assuming that you don't have any leak on your cooling system. I'm writing this based on what I have experienced before regarding dirty radiator water.

1. Your radiator could be jammed or clogged with dirt, rust or some substances.
2. Thermostat could be faulty and it refuses to open up fully. This happened to me before and a lot of dirty brown coloured substances appeared inside my radiator water. These substances came from the broken thermostat.

Hope this can help you.

1. Can take photo of the rust in the radiator?
2. 'hangus' smell from the side of the left front wheel can be your caliper stuck. is the rim very hot on that side after short drive? if it is and the right side rims is colder than the left, that means your caliper need servicing.

All replying through own experiences......:adore:
That is the good thing about internet forum. Real info. :biggrin:

Need to stay with mechanic when send car for repais like Bro. Renesis, can learn even more......lol
Learn visually only. And it is only limited to what is being repaired at that time. If new problem arises, need come to zth and search about it. If can't find a good answer, need post new thread and ask for help. Luckily everyone over here is very helpful. :adore:

i would agree to what RENESIS suggested. had the same issue with rusty/dirty water in my satria's radiator so i got it serviced last year April, also replaced new hoses, coolant and thermostat as advised by the mechanic.

i do my routine check around the engine bay every 2 weeks, the radiator's water still looks new and no visible rust. probably would help :listen:

Maybe the dirty rust looking stuff really is from an old thermostat. Replacing hoses is a good idea as old ones can be hardened and prone to cracking. While you are at it, don't forget to replace those minor hoses where coolant/water does flow through like those found near the throttle body. I had one of those cracked before and all the water in my radiator flowed out from there.

Hi Senpai

Here i attached the pic of the lubang radiator for your reference. Very rusty. Worry it tersumbat like last Aug which cause my radiator to burst & engine terpaksa overhaul.

On the left rims,its super panas & bau hangus kao kao after i pushed the car hard just now.
Is the caliper service hefty?

:(

The radiator bloody kotor.
The mech didnt do his job properly when he overhauled my engine.
He should have clean all the hose for me.
That was the problem which caused my radiator to pecah.

To me it is just starting. Looks like no more coolant. I suggest you pour in a radiator flush, run it then flush the radiator completely. Refill and pour in some coolant and see how it goes....:driver:
