Instead of ringing a car engine, just buy a new engine. 6 Likes |

solid3: That's is the story mechanics will tell you so they can buy your engine as scrap, ring it and sell it as tokunbo. A mechanic told me that 3 years ago. I got another mechanic, ringed the engine and it has been good since then. It cost me 25k and it had no issues. 7 Likes |

Am into haulage with nigeria brewery. Was adviced to always go for a tokumbo engine each time my engines are bad. The reason been that there was no good mechanics for v6 mercedez heavy duty truck engines. But along the line i found out that the said tokumbo engines i buy are the same ones i sale out to them as scrap. I was serious to get a mechanic and i did. Get a good mechanic and best parts in the market you will never regret it. Always check the engine and gear oil and water. If u still have thermostat in your car, always check your temperature switch to avoid overheating if you are the overspeeding type. Have fun 4 Likes |

mikotek:u will never get original rings in Nigeria. those mechanics will lie to u that it's original. if u ring it u will still come back after 6 months with a smoking engine. That's if your engine still have COMPRESSION |

Ringing an engine is just penny-wise pound foolish .Engine overall procedure requires lot of adhering to strict engineering specification which your kazeem is not aware of and might not even have the required equipment to perform this . Also procuring the original overall kit is much more expensive than getting the tokunbo engine from the local spare part market. And for those claiming that their local engine rebuild has stand the test of time ,what engineering parameter are u using to substantiate this claim ?? 3 Likes |

honmusa:Are you skilled enough to ring an engine? |
Re: How Much Does It Cost To Ring A Car? by Nobody: 8:30am On Jun 18, 2017 |
Ironically, Some of the so-called 'tokumbo' engines in the market are re-ringed engines. If you can find a parts dealer with original rings, go for it. 5 Likes |

smellingmenses:I can do it as a pet project but not for business purposes cos like I said earlier it much cheaper and less resource intensive to procure a top grade "A" tokunbo engine than engaging in engine rebuild job. 1 Like |

mikotek: Our mechanics can rebuild an engine just that most are crooks. They don't buy original parts. But few ones especially those that ring for commercial vehicles are very good. |
Re: How Much Does It Cost To Ring A Car? by Lokoyen(m): 10:16pm On Jun 18, 2017 |
honmusa: unless u buy from the right source most of these tokunbo engine sellers are fraudulent. |
Re: How Much Does It Cost To Ring A Car? by Lokoyen(m): 10:22pm On Jun 18, 2017 |
ikeepitreal: Exactly. Dey will tell him to buy a tokunbo. Tokunbo that is even not good. A good mechanic that is honest will give you guarantee on your engine after ringing. If you are ringing target those mechanics that ring for hummer bumber buses. Anyone that can ring commercial vehicle is good. 2 Likes |
