Thanks to my Mechanic Mr. Mpanga (0752031565) for a job well done. I highly recommend him if you are thinking of doing an engine overhaul (Suzuki and Toyota).

I've just completed a 1kz engine overhaul and suffering right greatly. The mechanic didn't do a good job yet it has cost me a little over 3 million shillings. I wish I found this post before so this mechanic could help me
In the end even the cylinder head has been damaged. I am being asked for more and more money. I don't even know how to apply the law in this scenario.
Hello, sorry to hear your frustration. Engine and Gearbox works are very delicate and they need to be handled with care and mostly by someone with good experience in that particular engine. Most of our street mechanics use try and error and most are not professional, it's even hard to apply the law because there is no guarantee on delivery. They don't provide official invoices, they operate as individuals and not a company and the sad bit is they are always broke so you basically have to foot the bill upfront with no guarantees.
From the look of things, you need a new cylinder head, and a new complete overhaul kit. My guess is they used non-standard parts and not the original Toyota parts in the engine, this is very crucial for the success of any overhaul job.
You can reach this mechanic on 0752 500 437
And me on +256782 212 595 and we can forge a way forward.
If you love that car, you can bring it back to life.
