The Trip ..

The leakage done by the engine .. My poor car lying unmovable..
Its being push by 2 guys towards the tow truck.
Its well align and ready to be position onto the tow truck.
Tow Cable tied and ready to roll ..
The gap was just millimeters away.

Finally its on the tow truck .
Arriving at my mechanic's garage..
Disembarking the car from the tow truck ..
Off the tow truck .
Parked inside the garage ..
The leakage was immediate when the engine started.
It will take at least 1 full week to fully rebuild the 4G93 engine or maybe 2.

The Death of the engine clocked at 289,996 Km.
The new sets of absorber sets to be fitted into my ride.
New Gasket Kits and Engine sealant for my 4G93.
Timing Belt Kit for another 100,000 km.
Its well prepared to be revive before it even broke down.

Live 25% ... Energy 10 % ...

19 Feb 2009 ... The day my Putra cried for mercy ...

My 4G93 has been having minor engine lubricant leak since July 2008. I've been preparing for overhauling it since then, which i had planned for end of Feb.

Today my Putra acted weirdly, the weaken absorber has been making very loud noise. Louder then usual. The thin brake pads seems to make obvious screeching sound too. After i went to pass up claim form at my office nearby, I had a check on the engine bay the minute i reach home. To my surprise, there is a lot of engine lubricant spitted out from the engine. Gosh! Luckily I was not heading anywhere for the day. The leakage was quite serious that I can notice it drip towards the ground. Immediately I call my mechanic but his garage was occupy by another Perdana V6 which is going through the overhaul process too. There is no other choice rather then wait for another week.



The 4G93 DOHC engine has clocked for almost 290,000 km drives, I do think its time to do a major overhaul. These are the things I've prepared for this round of major overhaul. 1 shot to fully revive it!
