nice ride sir Bennyboy. though kutob rako tanaw. suya jud ghapon ending. hehehe

@ moyti - sir murg wala carb ako sakyanan. ECS (not sure? aku makina and as what the technician said. wala nani cya carb. correct me if im wrong though. ang makina naku is 4 cylinders. with 1 spark plug each. pila kaha kabuok valve seals ani? i wanted to check the car as soon as the mechanic gets his hand onto it pero kaso duty ko. hopefully this coming holidays maka adto ko balik sa shop to check how they work on it. i really want to learn more about car engines and how they work.

thanks everyone.

Carbs? isnt that a thing of the past? hehehe.. kahinomdom lang ko ana nga term karon dah. unsa imo sakyanan bai? from the sounds of things, murag modern nana imong sakyanan karon dah, kay naa naman kaha na'y cylinders ug manga spark plugs? akoA gani, 1993 ra ni xa, 17 year old car! i have 6 cylinders, and on each I hav 6 spark plugs to ignite the combustion of the engine! (imagina pila na kong mag ilis nako!!!)

usually ang pinakacommon is 4 valves per cylinder. Di lang ko sure with your ride. But if that's the case you might need to change 16 valve seals total.
Another possible culprit is imong piston rings sad...pero mailhan ra sad na sa mekaniko ug unsa...You might even have some mechanic do a compression test sa imo mga cylinders para mabaw-an nimo in advance if problemado na ba sad imo piston rings...

Di ko sure bai ha and di sad ko expert pero naka experience na man gud ko ug similar case sa imo with my karaan nga sakyanan

Ang blue smoke man gud is a sign of oil nga nakasulod sa imo combustion chamber and naapil ug sunog. You should be loosing some amount of oil, too, if this is the case. Ang sa ako top overhaul lang and ilis valve seals kay naa usa kabook nga galeak na ug oil. Nya I needed to change the valves kay 2 valves had scratch on their stem due to probably improper installation sauna.

With black smoke, sa ako EFI nga sakyanan, it was solved sa pag-adjust lang nako sa timing (advance/retard). Kay improper timing could lead to improper burning sa fuel mao nang mo-itom ang aso sa gasoline engines. If diesel engine na, lahi sad nga storya...hehehe...wa na ko idea ana.
BTW pspoon, magsige ba ubos ang level sa imo oil?

@BennyBoy, mas karaan pa ako ride sa imo hehehehe....18 years old na ako...16 pa na imo brad..hehe
Mao lang sad ni advantage sa karaan nga sakyanan nya ning wala ay wawart kay daghan ta makat-onan thru experience tungod sa mga problema...hehehe...pero nindot gihapon kaayo imo ride especially with the kind of roads diha sa NZ

[pspoon_low-end]

@ Bennyboy - mas karaan ni ako sakyanan bro 1991 pa. hehehe pero wa sad ko idea nganu mao nani makina niya. hehehe

@ poy - so far ok man ang level sa oil. just talked to the shop owner and dako2 jud ako damage run. had to replace water pump kay ga leak na daw. changed valve seals and piston rings pd kay luag na kaau. grabe2 jud ang gasto da. pero hopefully ma ok na jud unta ni.

[poy]

Tsk tsk..so general overhaul jud diay...sige lang bai..kay worth it man sad na...if makaya, go for the OEM replacement parts jud para di sakit sa ulo...you might as well change the belts na lang if you are unsure nus-a ka last nag-ilis. preventive maintenance na lang jud.

Pareha diay ta...1991 sad ako......guwangguwang na jud diay

Allow me to share some help but this should be done with care and by someone who can follow simple procedures or instructions. It is recommended that you do this before you change your engine oil.

For a 4 cylinder (4 spark plugs - this is very common sa mga auto nato dire) engine with carburetor, the following procedure can help by cleaning your fuel lines, intake valves and cylinders (remove glaze) in 40 minutes time. I've done this several times on nissan engines and I get very good results.

Materials needed:
500ml kerosene - you can buy this from the gas station like petron, shell and caltex. (cost is less than P20.00)
250ml pure acetone - you can buy this sa department store under nail polish section, make sure it's pure. (cost is less than P60.00)
Clean and dry "glass bottle" (750ml wine bottle or 1 liter softdrink bottle, "never" use plastic bottles)

Note: Make sure that you have fuel in your car tank that can last an hour of idle engine run.

How to make the cleaner mixture?

Safety first: wear latex gloves aron walay direct contact sa imong skin in case mayab-an ka gamay inig sagol nimo. Do this in an open and well ventilated area like sa gawas sa balay. Kung mahimo pag wear ug safety goggles.

Put the kerosene inside the glass bottle.
Add the pure acetone (usually comes in 120ml glass bottles).
Mix them well by shaking the bottle. It would help when you have a cork to cover the bottle.
At this point, you'll notice that oil will form at the bottom of the mixture.

Caution: Some plastic can melt with the mixture so avoid plastics.


Procedure:

1. Make sure that the engine is off or wala mag andar. Open the engine hood.
2. Remove the carburetor cover (including the air filter kung nagtabon sa carburetor).
3. Disconnect the two sparkplug wires from the spark plug, kanang duha nga naa sa tunga.

4. Start your engine and bring it to 2500rpm, kung walay tachometer bring it to a smoother run. Butangi ug heavy object ang gas pedal kung wala kay kauban mag hold to maintain the 2500rpm.
5. Check the time kung unsang orasa na and start pouring slowly the mixture sa carburetor kanang di ra pud malumos ang engine until mahurot nimo ang half sa mixture. Wait for 10 minutes starting from the time you pour the mixture.
6. Stop the engine when 10minutes is over and replace back the spark plug wires.

7. Remove two spark plug wires ang first ug ang last, kanag sigkakilid ba.
8. Repeat Step 4 to 6.
9. Replace back the air filter/carburetor cover and close your engine hood.
10. Idle your engine for 20minutes to burn all the unburned cleaner mixture.

Your engine should be running with lesser noise this time.
You can repeat this cleaning process the next two weekends if you have time to remove the remaining dirt from your engine specially if your engine is more than 5 years old na. After every cleaning session, it is expected you'll get better engine run, more power and less noise.

Caution: Your idle setting will be affected when it was previously set with a dirty engine. Better check/adjust your fuel to air mixture ratio after you're satisfied with the engine performance after cleaning and it is good to change your engine oil kay hugaw na gyud na after engine cleaning. Think of it, you just removed several years of accumulated carbon deposits and glaze from your engine intake valve and cylinders.

Air filter and fuel filter should also be replaced kung hugaw na or due for replacement na.

If you want to move further pag recondition sa engine nimo, palit ug RVS aron ma coated ang cylinders nimo ug metal ceramic. You can contact Ronnie 0921381677 for RVS products, naa ni sa Mandaue. I am not selling this product, nag gamit lang ko ani karon sa engine nako and it works well.

I am just sharing this DIY cleaning procedure which works for me very well. I am in no way connected with the original author. I will not be held liable for whatever accident to happen when this procedure is being made with or without my presence. Bitaw, dako ni ug ikatabang sa imong engine but like any engine cleaning procedure, please do it with caution and confidence. Kung di ka sure about doing it yourself, ayaw nalang.

Good luck.

sir, what kind of customized thing imo gusto in particular?

Tested na gyud na nga mga pamaagi, hadlok lang ang majority including mga mechanic kay di ni sya maoy naandan nga mga pamaagi dire ug wala na sa school gitudlo. Naa pay daghang mga pamaagi unsaon ug improve sa performance without the high cost, di na lang angay hisgotan pa dire kay samot wa na gyud mo feedback pa. However, all the information is on the internet gi share pud sa uban, naa ra gyud nimo kung imong sulayan aron makadaginot ka while mag improve ang imong sakyanan. Imagine unsa ka nindot kung mahimo nimo nga di na ka mo change ug engine oil, di na ka mo change ug spark plugs, wala na maintenance sa air filter and all of these without compromising your engine performance?. Di gyud ka motoo nga possible ni.
