My Oga, it be like say water don pass Garri oooo... My mechanic finally got the gasket and fix it and no obvious overheating again but there is now a new problem. My car does not smoke before and even after it had overheating but my mechanic returned it to me after fixing the gasket with smoke coming from the exhaust. I told him to return the car to his garage immediately and find solutions to that smoke before I get him arrested. My OGAz, what cud be the cause of the smoke after fixing the gasket... Note, I also noticed a strange sound around the exhaust

Check pcv before tearing down the poor engine.

Big man! I don't leave my car unattended when Mechanic is working on it & they don't like me for that. No matter the trust u have on them, stay with them, you can even gain some knowledge that will be useful to u at home some day

I reported the case to a DIG and 2 DPOs yesterday... They told me I shouldn't stress myself at all. They told me to find out how much is a new catalyst from eBay. The mechanic has been begging since yesterday. The excuse he gave for removing the catalyst was dat he tot, it cud be the one causing overheating (possibly clogged up), he decided to sell the catalyst but since I raised the alarm of strange noise from the exhaust, he has gone to buy a China catalyst as replacement and that is what is in the welded section of the exhaust.... Omo, the DIG and DPOs no even wan hear that story ooo, they said that story is for me and not for them. The mechanic has been begging with different kind of Gods

Good morning sirs, my 2017 Honda Accord V6 engine stalls whenever I press the brake coming to almost a complete stop, it mostly happens when I'm on low speeds like 10-30km/h, scan only brings p2272 code. Mechanic cleaned the injector saying it was the issue but nothing has changed.
