Santro Engine Overhauling or Buy a New one?

[mohsin3027]

Hello guys,,
I need urgent help for my santro engine head,, my mechanic says that the head is gone and should be replace with kabli one,,, he is saying that most of the holes are faulty and previous owner/mechanic just put this head forcefully last time,, as they use magic all over the head..

The kabli one would cost around 15 to 20K.. just wanted to know that this head can't be repair ???
seniors pls advise ... is this right that this head is gone now.??

Santro engine parts are mostly available in market so overhual with genuine parts is possible. Just select good workshop and good machinist. I did that for my santro plus 4 years and 50000 km ago. Car is doing fairly good since then. However, it did had some tappet issue initially which had to be settled over two ittritions.

Dear have u note the difference of fuel consumption before and after engine overhauling? what is that?

Hi Guys,
Need ur suggestions based on your experiences and expertise as I am a beginner here.
I own a santro 2004 exec model and I am facing the oil burning issue. car is giving smoke and engine oil consumption is very high. Most probably the ring piston/ valve seal issue. Overall car performance is good. no missing issue, no such noiceable loss of power etc. car is driven and maintained carefuly so i dont think engine parts condition is much bad.
A friend of mine suggested to try "liqui moly smoke oil stop additive" for temporarily resolution of this prolem a bit and to drive 6 to 8 months more before going for some mechanical work.
Please suggest what should i do?
1. Try the oil additive and run it for few more months untill it become neccesary to get some mechanical work done.
2. Just get the ring piston/valve seals work done.
3. Or to go for a full engine overhaul?
Also if u can refer a santro expert mechanic. and expected cost of option 2 and 3.

Santro engine overhauling is perfectly right solution then changing your car engine(head assembly)with the kabli one.
If your engine is totally finished then u need to replace the engine with 1000cc(Rs:60000)engine .
Never swap your engine with 800cc (Rs:28000)
With this 800cc engine everything is out of control .
Too many problems you will faced.
For best setting of 800 cc and 1000cc engine overhauling plz contact with best Santro specialist

Sorry i was away and could not reply. Well my santro is mostly used for short routes so fuel consumption isnt much of an issue. Never checked it but its fairly okie. But engine oil consumption is minimal and engine feels much powerful.

Thanks for providing your number. Few days ago my santro radiator cap remained open and i drove 40 km. Then engine turned off itself when open the hood lot of smoke out there and no water left in the radiator i put water in it and it evaporated instantaneously then i put 4,5 liter water then it started. Now its reducing water and oil has also become smelly. Mechanic told me gasket is burnt and rings are also need to be replaced. What should i do now

[ahmedstudio]

Get an engine (from Bilal Gunj). You can check the quality of engine by opening its engine oil cap. There shouldn't be any dark particles inside cap and inside the engine oil chamber. Engine oil chamber shiuk not be clavk, if it's golden, that's perfect. Even if it's not golden, but at least it shouldn't be black.

[zeshanbajwa837]

If i install new gasket and ring piston, wouldn't work?

[ahmedstudio]

Bro, it will keep giving you issues unless or untill the mechanic us REAKKY good and HONEST. and by the way 40k budget by your mechanic is too much for this job. In less than 40k you can get an engine and have peace of mind.

[zeshanbajwa837]

What will be the total cost of complete replacement alongwith assembly
