Oily Spark Plug,

hao — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:40:54 +0800

Hi Guys,

I just found out that there's oil stain on top of one of my spark plug.

Assume that piston ring or gasket need to be changed, how much would it costs for each of them?

Any other items to be checked/changed other than this two that might cause this problem too?

Thanks.

engine stall due to overheat, leaking cooling system.

xtorm — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 15:24:21 +0800

my engine 4g13 overheated due to leaking in the cooling system, the engine stall when i was driving but i couldnt get it to start after that.

check the engine myself and it seems its not jamed at all...crank n valve are all runing freely, it even pulled the car with the gear in when i try to start the car.

was told by a friend (experiance guy, but shop kinda far from my house n he is doing insurance claim n so on) to filled up the cooling system and drive to the nearby workshop to get the gasket change. but i cant get it to start even after filling it, probably bcos the water cant reach the engine, the leaking is at the front pipe just behind the extractor.

ok my question now is my theory correct, engine no water = cant start?

ask 2 shop both told me to overhaul, change engine, change head n so on which all end up with lots of money.

hope the sifu can help
any workshop to recommend in klang?

So easy to open a car hood ?, Demo by some seller at tesco cheras.

IceCube — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 12:36:06 +0800

There a bunch of seller selling security stuff at tesco extra cheras last nite until quite late i think 10pm like that. What i saw was less then 5 sec the fella can open a wira front hood without using any tools or opening at nuts or shit.

How to open the doors after opening the hood, he and me know lah. LOL .

I didnt see what they are selling coz it was just too scary to see some guy pop ur hood and check out ur engine bay. (it wasnt my car though).

Not sure that it will work on other cars...but i guess it should coz they are wearing black collar type uniform with some words imprint on it.

Scary shit. Anyone installed such thing in their car?

Swap tyres front left to right, is it ok?

vtec-ing — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 11:13:27 +0800

hi folks,

i have no plan to replace all 4 pcs of tyres at together so i dont practice the X roatation for my car. As usual the front tyres tend to wear out more at 'outside' of tyre whereas the 'inside' is usually ok.

so cant i just rotate the two front tyres, left to right and vice versa ?
