Car Talk / Re: What Are The Dangers Involved In Doubling Head Gaskets by Eburnian: 12:21pm On Oct 17, 2023
Readonee35L:
I used too have a mitsubishi Space wagon . I think a 2.4Gl Manual Tranny
A time came when it started snapping timing belts
Like 4 times
The 1st two times. No damage
3rd tiMe bent valves wch caused lotta money too fix
We checked so many factors that could cause d ish , even replaced one pulley
Then it happened again
Bent valves
Argh
Mech advised to double the gasket so if it snaps no harm wil be done ...
I never had an idea
I told him to do it, and some adjustment were made on d belts wch made a lot of diff , it didn't cut anymore till it was sold
...I didn't notice a change in performance tho


God bless. Doubling gasket saves valve bending especially in cars using belt in place of chain, the loss of power is very minimal and not even that noticeable.
Car Talk / Re: Doubling The Engine Gasket, What's Your Take? by Eburnian: 12:15pm On Oct 17, 2023
ruby360:


op listen to this advice
You are mixing the points. Some double gasket to suppress overheating, I see that as a bad idea.

Others double gasket to save the original valve from bending to due to timing belt stripping/cutting. Though, they lose a minimal fire power. But no problem with the engine. Most especially in Volkswagen vehicles(golf sharan...), opel used for long transport. U can't be changing cylinder head everytime u cut a timing belt.

So, honmusa, calm down

Its a shame on u all. Someone market his buz d next thing is for another to useless it. What for? Every ride as its own peculiar issue and stamd to be criticize but not on a market sale. Am sure u wont like same either. What is ur buz with him importing 406 with his money or selling it? Price tag are normal in naija auto market,it left for the buyer to beat it down and not ur right to question the price. Honestly both of u behave childish and a shame. I can boldly tell u(confirm from PAN kaduna) naija assembled 406 automatic never give any gear issue and its only peculiar with certain country produce chain and not generalize to all 406 product
Autos / Re: Auto And Manual Of Peugeot 406,which Is Better by Eburnian: 3:37am On Nov 15, 2019
I once ask a PAN media handler,he said the auto gear fault is mostly synonymous with certain product chain line and not generalized as reported. He give assurance abt nigerian assembled 406 and some other countries. Though i couldnt specify which exact country product line possess that peculiar factory fault.
