2 days ago, my mechanic just pronounce my waja's 1.6 mitsu engine dead. After trying to revive 2 times by overhaul also cannot.
He suggested me to change to another engine. We found 1 halcut which is Mitsubishi 6A11 which is 1.8L V6 SOHC. My mechanic told me that complete total cost for converting is RM6,400 include dashboard. My question is :- 1) Is this engine good? 2) Is the total cost consider good deal ? |

last time i found it at 'kedai potong' too.. full halfcut auto at rm3k, but that few years back.. so price maybe ok, but then not sure about spare parts like
- timing belt - water pump - belting etc all that wear n tear for engine parts.. kinda same with 6A10? or 6A12? not sure tho.. if me i advice u dont.. because rare engine tend to be rarely found its parts.. This post has been edited by amad108: Jun 8 2012, 07:56 PM |

my question is why can't your mech fix the engine after overhauling? My suggestion, change mech.

One day my steel hose to the water pump leaking. After fix it, it was ok. 1 week later, the temperature wt up. So i went back to the mechanic and he told me that my gasket "patah". So asked him to do top overhaul instead. After that it was ok for a month. Until the temperature went up again. I checked there's no water in radiator. So i went back to the mechanic and he told me that my head is bengkok. He skim the head and do the water test etc also cannot. When running, the water from radiator tendang jugak. Lastly, he told me to change to another engine. good luck with ur conversion! QUOTE(Nightstalker1993 @ Jun 8 2012, 08:33 PM) my question is why can't your mech fix the engine after overhauling? My suggestion, change mech. I did. The other mechanic also told me that its better to change engine since the head has already repair 2 times. |

you must know that, half cut engines are used. theres no guarantee that the particular engine you've chosen is in good condition. All in all, it boils down to luck and how good you are in choosing an engine. But if you overhaul your engine, you have peace of mind that your engine is in perfect running condition with every wear and tear part replaced. Its up to you to make the call.

From my experience, change mech like what everyone said. If he says skim head twice, why twice? He could've gone a better way by using a thick metal headgasket to compensate compression.
If budget is an issue, there is a 1.8 single cam Waja engine for sale. Just the head block. You will re-use your gearbox, wiring and ecu, etc. The price? RM2500 WITH installation. Cheap, not?
