Bad news for me. My 94 Corolla GLi needs an overhaul. Read the previous threads. The tell tale signs are there. Some smoke when I remove the valve cover cap and the oil dip stick. Some wet oil deposit on the tailpipe. A little bit more noisier than usual.

So I got an estimate from a shop the sells the parts and has a machine shop and inhouse mechanic along Proj 6 QC. I asked for their best price for parts and machine shop services, for the benefit of fellow tsikoteers na din.

PARTS

Master Bearing -750 Taiho brand
C Rod Bearing - 450 Taiho

Whew! Magastos pala. Di ko pa pinapagawa.

Do you think the quote is fair enough? Which of the Machining services are essential and which are optional? How do I know if I need to have them done on the engine?


Gurus, pa-advise at paexplain naman! HELP!
