My mechanic advised that instead of changing the rocker arm, I should change the top Cylinder.

I even went to where Honda parts are sold to ask for Rocker Arm seller said the same thing about purchasing the top Cylinder

Oga Gazzuzz, good afternoon.

I need your professional advice badly.

My Camry 2008 (4 plugs) started giving me issues in December)

The check engine light came on Dec 28th, and I had to drive to the mechanic like that.

That day, it was discovered the balance shaft was bad (which was replaced)

The check engine light stopped for about 2 days and came on again.

I returned to the mechanic again and he later fixed whatever issue happened (he speculated oil pump issues)

Issue resolved.

Jan 3rd while returning to Lagos, was on 120 when the engine gave a funny sound (the engine oil light was flickering on and off prior to this).

I parked and checked the oil level and saw that there was enough oil.

Drove from Magboro to Sura where my mechanic was.

Car spent a week but he changed the Camshaft.

Car worked fine post camshaft change.

A week after, oil warning light was flickering on and off again, and at this point, car was really making funny sounds at 40 to 60.


Cars been at the mechanic since last Saturday, unresolved, and he's speculating it is the oil pump and saying engine knock.

Obviously, I am avoiding buying a new engine as that will cause a dent in my pocket, not after how much i have had to fork out this past two months.

What can possibly cause the oil warning light to come on, both theirs enough gauged oil in the engine?

The app needs to connect wirelessly to the Vehicle Communication Interface. The number can be found on the dongle.

Is it an app ? Available on AppStore?

GAZZUZZ:


Excessive wear on the crankshaft , you will need another crankshaft or cutting to next suitable size .

You might have a sludge related problem.

Oil pumps don't fail that often, excessive crankshaft/bearing wear will cause loss in oil pressure this will cause the oil pressure light to come on.

You can contact me if you will need a standard crankshaft and bearings.

Olatoman:


Thank you for your quick response.

Mechanic mentioned he was going to cut the crankshaft yesterday and advised I come pick the car today.

Will see how it pans before taking next steps.

GAZZUZZ:


I am guessing this is why you have recurring issues.

New engine parts take a while to get to know each other.

Back in the days when you buy a brand new car, the manufacturer places a sticker top left of windscreen warning about max speed limits and rev limits till vehicle attains a particular mileage.

I will recommend you leave engine with your mechanic to run a week, and after picking up, do not exceed 2,000 rpm for 1000miles

Good Evening Oga Gazzuzz and other car Gurus in the house. My Corolla 2011 break light is popping on the dashboard even after the handbrake is down and it makes the steering very hard. But every morning I own the car, the break light will not show even before lowering the handbrake and the steering will be soft/normal.
The moment I started moving for some minutes the break light will pop up and the steering will be very hard concurrently.
This problem started 4 days ago, I think after I fall into culvert/Gutter or hole accidentally. Please I want to know whether the brake system or the steering or the wiring system has the problem. Thank you

GAZZUZZ:


Scan the car, abs
