Overhaul Engine

[Qpik]

Juz checking...What constitute one and whether anyone had theirs done before?

 

Is it recommended for COE car or what kind of car?

 

Please share the details so I can pass the info to my friend. Thanks for your explanations.

now hardly anyone overhaul engine liaoz. get a recon crankcase is cheaper. overhaul means remove entire block, remove gasket. port and polish. fix new gasket and realign piston (tricky stuff).

 

if really overhaul hor, you must pose like those old pix fr western countries when the hunter make a kill and hold his rifle standing next to dead prey. lidat then become historic.

blarghh. the overhaul killed my merc 200. engine became so rough, vibrate like crazy.

its better to change engine .

For ppl who like to do mods to their cars, its the perfect time to do engine work since everything is already out. Port and polish, over bore, replace to forged pistons, do valve job, get head ported and benchflow tested, change valvetran, cams, ........ ohhh and timing belt. Pretty expensive but u'll get an engine pretty close to race spec.

 

If its just a daily driver, then just find a good shop that wont rip u off.

There are no raceways in Singapore hence the unavailability of such masters with equipment to do all this.

[Elfenstar]

you missed out the most important bit, it would be technically be a brand new engine.

[BlueSi]

If I have the time and money to do the things I listed above to my motor .... it'll not only be a new motor, but a much better more powerful one too.

change engine

 

eh, i tot u cannot do that cos it is illegal rite

[Motronic]

we have our way to make it legal.its the true..

[Turbonetics]

its not legal already in sg so how can u have ur way..

unless u r government...

even if knock back the same engine num is still consider illegal....

care to share ur way???

[Qpik]

he'll probably hv to slience u if he were to share w u.

 

yeah, but yr question is good lah...

 

how eh? kopi $$$?

[Thrilltoe]

done overhaul on my previous car in JB, power better, FC improved but unfortunately due to the space constraint of the car, I sold it. (Subaru Justy)

[Qpik]

so what actually goes on in an engine overhaul?

 

do they take it out, dismantle everything, give it a thorough cleaning/polishing without having to change any parts thereby resulting in improvement in FC?

[Thrilltoe]

I left everything to my mech, he dismantle evrything to pieces, clean the parts with solvent, service and clean the piston....blah, blah, blah.....he also service the carburetor...

[Turbonetics]

lol....

but i think there is no way to make it legal...

unless u go underhand...like u said "kopi lui"...etc...

[Soya]

an overhaul is a major job and done when something internal is totally kaputz. nothing to do wif improving FC or merely 'cleaning'. it involves stripping either the top or bottom end to replace major components like bearings, crankshaft, pistons, valves, etc.

 

a real overhaul is a complete strip but normally is not done unless one is doing a full classic car restoration or engine rebuilt for mods.

[Turbonetics]

so does the power improved alot???

how much did u pay for it???
