Alright, its been a long long time I didnt post pictures here. This collection is about my car which undergone a major engine overhaul due to serious engine oil leak externally and internally. It was done back in April with the help of my colleague.

All wear and tear parts like oil seals, gaskets, worn-out parts are replaced. Since everything already dismantled, I sent my engine cylinder head for port-n-polish and the block for rebore to fit in 1.6 stroker kit.

After everything's done, my car is back alive with more torque and power. Very nice to drive and the best thing is the fuel consumption is not affected!

Put the car on jack stands. Dismantling process starts with the battery and air filter
