Share my DIY overhaul picture.

[plank]

My engine suffer serious engine oil lost. I need to topup 1 liter in every 2 week. Also 2 cylinder already lost compression.
The engine running like 3 n half cylinder. Thats y I overhaul the engine.

Bro!! any oil lost after overhaul?
BTW

 

[me2kimi]

So far so good. No oil lost. But a bit sign of oil at head gasket. Maybe not enough torque when tight the head bolt

wat about water in radiator? no mix with oil? anyway gud job bro..

 

[me2kimi]

So far my radiator water still red color (coolant). no sign of oil. Thanks

Yes bro, totally depend on the engine repair manual. It helps alot. On the electronic side, just need to remove 4-5 sensor and 4 injector connector.

I did not remove block coz dont have engine lifter. If I have that, sure I'll remove the block.



Bro ragerunner, I donno how to explain about the technical, but like I said above, I think all 20 Valvers has the engine repair manual. I just print out the manual and make is as a book, open the book and refer it while working with the engine.
The manual is quite detail, it tell what connector to remove, how much screw to remove.
I can say that 85% came from engine repair manual, 10% from my courage n experience and another 5% is advice from friends and mech.

No need sticky la bro. I do not want to responsible if someone try DIY it and fail.Plus the picture is not detail enough.

Hi Brother, can you send me a copy of the engine repair manual?

Cheers to you bro. A very good job. I wish I had the time, tools and knowledge to take apart my 16v. Ooops no engine manual for 16v haha...

 

[me2kimi]

Got the manual and you can be a foreman. Hehe

Bro,

Do send me the manual if you don't mind. It would be great to have the manual handy. You'll never know when is the time you need to be the mechanic. But seriously bro, no matter how much I wanted to take apart my 16v, i for one admit i don't have the balls to do it haha...Maybe when I have the proper tools and a mechanic friend with me, I would venture into that area. hehe

Again, my highest respect to you bro. Should meet up sometime to talk about 4age :D

Piston has to be remove from the top.
And I didn't remove crankshaft coz need to took out block.
So main bearing and thrust washer cannot be replace.

[me2kimi]

Yes, grind valve part send to shop coz of time consuming
