First.
Anytime your AC starts blowing hot, before you check anything, first check if your car is overheating. Cos it's the most common (if not the only) sign of overheating.

I believe your Gasket is bad already. And ringing an Engine is a 70/30 chance. 70% more likely that the engine will still short oil within 3/6 months after.

If the shorting of oil is not so much yet (1litre every 2k miles), then I suggest you work just the Gasket now and save for changing the Engine later.

Shanid:

THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR, BUT HOW MUCH WILL IT COST TO FIX THE GASKET ?

"from frypan to fire"

You are lucky...
Combination of factors, not just bad roads.
Top on my list is driving far before u reposition after dropping the rider, dead driving - waste fuel and valuable time. The time u will use to reach Ipaja from Ikeja I have done Ikeja to VI and back or VI to Lekki.
Corner corner roads, short distance that takes a long time to complete. Ikeja to Ipaja is 1,800max but in the same time one will do Ikeja to Ogudu or Gbagada to and fro.
When u now reach Ipaja, u will need to do prayer and fasting to get a trip back to Ikeja or Island. As most trips will be within or towards Ikotun or igando or Ijaiye or AIT (from frypan to fire) So I just avoid those Ipaja, Igando axis. From personal experience.
Except it's a long trip from the Island.

I taught same too, before getting a new engine it was similar net profit, I taught it was the car and maybe after changing engine it'll b different. But with new engine the difference is just about 1-2k added.

Health is Wealth... don't let anybody posting working 7days a week and bragging, as if that is a wise decision, fool you. Is it sustainable, without deterioration to ones health in the long run.
While i love to read about all the back to back request, I don't wish any of you back to back visit to different hospital specialist, when you decide to move from uber to plan B, the choices you made yesterday have grave implication for the future.
My sympathy to those drivers on HIre Purchase, whose wives are currently out of work due to the pandemic, the Good Lord will see you through.
To those pushing drivers to go beyond their reasonable limits, may our action not turn innocent children to orphans and wives to widows. Let us be compassionate and balanced, kindly remember not everybody's DNA is wired the same.
DRIVING FOR LONG HOURS IN TRAFFIC IS A SILENT KILLER, A WORD OF ADVICE IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!

When u make this amount of money, u don't have any reason not to have the car in good shape.
Only an unserious person will joke with his work tools.

Bro.
I guess no one have advised you on this. But.....
If you're what your Monika says, then your major tool for this Hustle should be an oily cream.

It'll help you after some trips on the Island.

BAZ001:


This is one of the reason I tell people not to borrow money to fix car to start dis hustle or use all their life savings / resign job to get a car.
Imagine if u don’t have any money to buy another tyre first day in the job?
My first 3months in d hustle I changed compressor and condenser e be like some juju dey welcome people to d hustle.
Though some had a smooth start but plenty story to tell.

For where I no go gree you stay lazyD league mbanu. You have the spirit, attitude, anger and mouth of ants. No space for you here, just go and net 100k weekly.
You are doing well

CheerfulGiver:
Blown tyre is preventable. You must have felt you could manage it for a while before changing. A good tyre doesnt blow up.

GAZZUZZ:


For a vehicle used on Ehailing, a cheap rebuild will not last 1month.

Save up and replace the engine, and ensure you get a new radiator

VaselineCrew:


So you mean I have to lubricate my piston after some trips?

Pearl1910:


While we wait for Gazzuzz, and other experts...
This is the problem of this car when it's getting old or not properly maintained with the correct fluids. Excessive oil shortage, overheating, fast engine wear coupled with gear problem for the 05-07 counterpart.
For me, I would say don't waste money on that engine, its gone already. But if you don't have money for new engine u can do remedial work. Gasket, piston, rings, connecting rods, timing components etc and plan to change engine as long as the remedial work lasts...1week, 1month, 1yr.
If u have money change gasket first, if it's not okay u change d engine.
Ringing can be done if it's for private use not for commercial use.
