Suzuki/Mehran/Maruti 800 ENGINE OVERHAUL

Suzuki/Mehran/Maruti 800 ENGINE OVERHAUL

My friend Jimmy came tome to dispose his 1999 Model Maruti 800 as he has extensively used this car and its odometer showing 1,56,000 kms.

The car body line is in mint condition and I found that all what the car demanded was an engine overhaul as there was back pressure from the tappet cover pipe. Also in the mornings the car emitted white smoke ( signs of engine oil residue on the pistons ).

As he was planning another Maruti 800 again, It occured to me that why he is going to spend Rs. 1,78,000/- on a new car ( Cost - 1.94 lacs - discounts of Rs. 16,000/- ). This car could fetch him around Rs. 65000/- to 80,000/-.

Then we decided to go for an engine overhaul and Jimmy made his mind to shell out Rs. 5 to 8 thousands bill on the engine overhaul.

However, when we got the engine opened we found that everything was all right except for some Engine Head job and replacing the piston rings only. Jimmy ended up spending only Rs.2900/- for the whole job

We closly photographed the whole process from Jimmy's Nokia 6681 cellphone.

Let us have gilmipse of the engine in opened condition, while cleaning, spare parts, re assembling etc.

Zabardast, excellent job done. Its quite gudd in ur part as ya convinced ur frnd to go for the overhaul resulting in the saving of money. Mehran is too much economical and reliable car.

I kept my Mehran for more then a yr, which i used to drive till the point petrol got finished in ma car, used by frnds nd us. I had ma engine overhauled for 3 times as I used to drive quite rough.

Btw, its better to change the pressure plate aswell.

Happy driving Maruti/Mehran.

Thnxx..
