Re: do i need to overhaul
i think top overhaul lang kelangan dyan. normally that shows that the valve seals are leaking.
syempre, you'll know more about the condition of the block once the engine is opened up na.
Re: do i need to overhaul
ojela2,
sa amin dati, naglalabas ng white smoke yung car namin, so we were leaking oil. pa-quote kami sa casa, sabi overhaul daw. a whopping 100K! so we decided to get a second opinion. we found a good mechanic, and he said top overhaul lang ang kailangan. over-all cost for the top overhaul is around 10K lang. so from then on, sa kanya na kami nagpapa-service ng car namin. i can refer you to him..he knows mitsubishi engines very well. :)

help! any other possible reasons for this? mga magkano kaya repair at san maganda magpagawa?
What did they mean when one of the piston is not working. Did they conduct compression test on each cylinder or did they just hook the computer engine analysis. You've replace spark plug and tension wire, but they you check the distributor if its still within the proper gap or corroded.
