I am shocked.

No engine is difficult to rebuild. However, spare parts quality is the main issue here. Some mechanics even use Toyota rings on Honda because most Honda parts available are substandard. This will cause the rebuild to fail in a short time.

With the right parts, no engine is difficult to rebuild.

Are you against the use of Toyota rings in the Honda engine? If yes why? If no... How reliable is it?

Lastly how can one source for genuine Honda rebuild kits​?

I will be glad if this forum can crack this mystery and demystify Honda engine rebuild.

Thought I did already?

From throwing tantrums everywhere unnecessarily and fighting foolishly all over nairaland and car whatsapp groups, it graduated to asslicking and now, creating shallow/irrelevant topics.. Something tells me someone is desperately trying to get some form of employment from Seun, and needs to prove they're active users..

Dear Lord, pls answer some people's prayers, this transition from joblessness to being a nairaland mod is long overdue.

Tnx, bye

No sir. I asked about the reliability of switching to Toyota rings.

No sir. I asked about the reliability of switching to Toyota rings.

As far as am concerned, the design for Honda and Toyota piston rings could differ so I would not like to use Toyota for my Honda.

Note that the usual problems are not the compression rings but the oil control rings.

I would make sure I buy the correct rings and a quality one. Else the oil control rings could fail in a short time.

How or where can one be sure of getting original Honda rings in Nigeria?

The issue with nigerian rebuild has nothing to do with substandard parts. When a nigerian man fails woefully, he start blaming parts for his lack of knowledge and inadequate tools. Most mechanic do not have standard tools. How many of them knows how to use callipers and vernier guages? They just remove ring and put a new one without reglazing the bore.

Honestly, we need a lot to learn

A workshop should have at least this 12 tools

Tapered Ring Compressor

Piston Ring Squaring Tool

Piston Ring Filer

Crankshaft Socket

Engine Brushes

Harmonic Damper Installation Tool

Degree Wheel

Dial Bore Gauge

Pushrod Length Checker

Oil Pump Primer

Valve Spring Height Micrometer

Engine Storage Cradle

As much as I'd had love to assist, I am tied down lately with lots of activities and projects which has/is occupied(ing) a major part of my time this year. Like this year alone, I've travelled more than I can count for family and personal reasons.
Rebuilding an engine requires genuine OEM or better quality parts, you'd have of order from Abroad since Nigeria don't have those parts sourced locally, it requires time and patience which I dont have now due to my current activities.
If you're in Abuja, you could ask for other competent auto technicians to assist you with this task.

Toyota rings are a NO NO in honda engine rebuild.

You have made some very solid correct points but substandard parts have a major part to play too.

Let me tell you the hard truth ,no true professional technician with good business sense will take the job of engine rebuild cos it is time and resource intensive job unless you are able to pay well enough which far much above the cost of buying a tokunbo engine
.
So, source for a good tokunbo engine which is a cheaper and time management alternative for everyone.

lets not be quick to descredit those parts, have you been to where some of this engine rebuild take place? Imagine rebuild being done with sand and dirty hands, what do you expect? If you take your time to do a proper research, most manufacturers of those so called substandard parts, produce the OEM parts.

Get to South africa, this same parts we call substandard parts are what most of them use n are available in part stores, but they have low failure rates

No. I do not have any idea.

I have been there Sir.True, some mechanic are not prepared enough to undertake such repair but Quality auto parts play a big role.
About the standard of parts sold in South Africa,Original and substandard auto parts are being sold in South Africa just like it is in Nigeria,I know this very well.
