Need advice on 4d56 engine: swap to surplus or overhaul?

[usokpower]

Im driving a 96 mitsubishi L200 and the engine is emitting white smoke whenever you take out the oil dipstick or oil cap.

So i need anyone's advice here on your experience swapping an engine or overhaul. Which is better in terms of lifespan and reliability? What are the pros and cons? Thanks

Overhaul mo na lang basta sa trusted mechanik mo dalhin. Pag change engine hindi ka rin sigurado baka pinoy surplus makuha mo and papa change engine ka pa sa car registration.

i agree with overhaul:
1. you know that the finished product is in good condition;
2. no need to go to LTO for change of engine hassle.

agree ako sa overhaul

madami na na bihasa sa technicalities ng 4d56 dito sa atin. medyo hanap ka lang ng reputable na mekaniko

Ano ang mga pinapalitan sa engine overhauling? Sorry for my limited knowledge about engine.

Depends on what kind of overhaul. Kung top overhaul lang, mura lang. But a general overhaul may sometimes cost more than a surplus 4D56 engine. Good opportunity for a power upgrade too. 😁
