radautoworks: to be candid, I am really impressed with ur positivity towards this goal..... I really really hope u grow in strength and integrity. this issue of engine replacement is a very big issue in Nigeria esp with the fact that those that rebuild are few and lack sense of responsibility..... but with what u are offering, I think we are ready to think outside our usual confines.... only that ladipo will suffer small |

thebigkendo: sorry oh oga, the rack started leaking before the accident that was the reason we were referred to that thread to learn how the PS leak made the owner bash his car |

AutoElectNG: well I am yet to get my hopes as high as the moon but with what I'm seeing..... I think it's not a mirage..... and she came prepared both in words and deeds |

obekediamondfuto: When something is drummed up as not recommended consistently it takes a life of it's own e.g., don't buy a Nigerian used car, when we can have bad tokunbo cars, and when we have good Nigerian cars. In the same way, replace engine mantra has a life of its own. I meant she succeeded in proving the viability of the alternative mantra rebuild engine, that it is taking on a life of its own is what I call success here. 3 Likes |

obekediamondfuto: The steering rack was rebuilt and installed before the accident! The steering rack was not in any way affected by the accident! thebigkendo: I posted the link in response to this question |

uwemjack: OK oh thebigkendo has won..... Toyota PS rack is not so good |
Re: To Rebuild Or To Replace? by uwemjack(m): 11:22am On Aug 16, 2018 |
thebigkendo: Once the seals within the rack fail the steering rack of any car will fail. if the steering rack boot of any car is compromised, it's just a matter of time before the seals within are compromised and start leaking. So it is not car specific. 1 Like |

Re: To Rebuild Or To Replace? by erico2k2(m): 6:22pm On Aug 16, 2018 |
has my vote,you got zero mileage parts, that gladdens your heart. When an engine is rebuilt, all of a sudden you have an Engine that's going to do another 100k miles no shaking. |
Re: To Rebuild Or To Replace? by GAZZUZZ(m): 6:51pm On Aug 16, 2018 |
radautoworks: meaning if I buy a used engine under 100,000 miles I have about 200,000 miles of happiness left Now the big question how many Nigerians can cover 200,000 miles on ownership of 1 particular vehicle? 2 Likes |

Re: To Rebuild Or To Replace? by radautoworks: 8:23pm On Aug 16, 2018 |
GAZZUZZ: Partially incorrect IMO. The car you can find yes and have that kind of usage left. But to find the engine alone in that condition in the used market? What would be the reason for removing the engine for sale alone? Unless there was a collision that totalled the car, in which case the engine would most likely no longer be in the same condition. You're most likely not going to find the engine from that car in the used engine market. Not even close. Now about the second part, none with 20w50 1 Like |
Re: To Rebuild Or To Replace? by radautoworks: 11:10pm On Aug 16, 2018 |
Question for the house. If the costs were like this, which would you do? ENGINE SWAP BY NAIJA SHOP Used Ladipo engine N150k Labor (10 hrs) N50,000 Or ENGINE REBUILD BY RAD AUTO WORKS US Parts N 109,500 Labor (19hrs) N95,000 1 year warranty parts and labor Which would you do? |
Re: To Rebuild Or To Replace? by timifakay(m): 11:27pm On Aug 16, 2018 |
radautoworks: If all parts for either options are being sourced for in Nigerian open market (eg Ladipo) engine swap is the way to go. |

Re: To Rebuild Or To Replace? by Inception(m): 9:17am On Aug 17, 2018 |
radautoworks: For the 2nd option , the tools used and specifications religiously followed is key: Torqueing, cylinder bore measurements, crankshaft journal measurements, top cylinder valve shims/ rocker am tappets measurements, Cylinder head bolts torqueing sequence( torque to yield?) Checking for ovality in cylinder walls ( for engines plagued with piston slap) which might require reboring of cylinder, piston ring installation sequence on piston etc etc ... The wahala and the variables considering the clime we are in too much abeg( imagine when reboring is required, where can it be done with peace of mind in Nigeria using the right tools?) Na to just jejely replace with Japan grade engine jejely to avoid installing a CPR kit in my car abeg |
Re: To Rebuild Or To Replace? by obekediamondfuto(m): 9:43am On Aug 17, 2018 |
radautoworks: engine swap? first grade, direct fit and measurements from the factory.....assurance from quality assurance officers ...... and time efficient. rebuild? only if I get a 1yr warranty.... that in event of any failure I get 70percent of my money back.... I don't mean warranty that will involve another rebuild oh..... then technicalities will come into play..... oil and filter etc that client must bear plus the time it will take for another rebuild ..... abeg.... mbok... I will be needing my money back. the 30 percent forgone is the usage of the engine in terms of service usage before the catastrophe. one thing is this, a well seasoned mechanic knows a good engine when he analyses it. it's this simple. |
