Apparently had a overheating at some point in his life and the middle three reels and were seized w


The fault of my friend Alexander Cruvinel, here we have a 1996 1.5 Elba ie at home, with which ran 311,000 km without even taking the head off. Still works well, even if already burning a little oil. How it works, is not mexo.Ou, an invisible car, which always serves everyone well, without charge, without crises and always be on. Requires almost elm leblanc no maintenance and is even a pretty decent car to use. A good experience encourages us to others in the same genre.
Later her excellent experience with it led me to take a Marea 2.4 ELX 2002 from a friend of Belo Horizonte, he was even willing elm leblanc to sell the car. A trip he took to Brasilia, the engine blew and he sold me in the state, since in theory I could fix it and still keep the car in a reasonable price. elm leblanc As I thought the Marea 2.4 should be a nice car, I decided to face. In the end the cost was a bit tied up, but as it was good for both, and the car still got a motor zero-miles, I'd say it was well worth it.
But we in the order in which things happened. First, I took the Marea for a friend workshop and disassembled to see what had rolled. In disassembly, first important observation: the crankcase was no oil. Or had leaked all, or had been consumed. No apparent leaks, we are left with the hypothesis of consumption, with an aggravating: A week before the trip, he had done a good review on it and had oil and filter changed. During disassembly find the proper amount elm leblanc of oil leakage indicating same lubricant consumption.
Apparently had a overheating at some point in his life and the middle three reels and were seized with brands that facilitated oil consumption. Well, the reason was definitely finding and the diagnosis was made.
In rectify, rectify and still managed to save the virabequim a rod just hit and was replaced by another new Fiat bought elm leblanc the same and pistons that were standard were exchanged for other Mahle Metal Leve, also standard, but since the new come with a layer of Teflon skirt, they end up being something close to 6 cents higher than they were original in them without teflon millimeter. Just a honing to correct the gap to the desired new pistons and good values. The block and pistons were unique thing with 6-7 hundredths of a millimeter off, which I considered excellent for an engine with 85,000 km rotated.
Here some economic elm leblanc commentary: Pistons VERY cost, U.S. $ 1,700 with the actual rings. The rings are the same as the originals. Here a parenthesis: the originals are the only scraper ring, one-piece with an internal spring expander. Objectionable. Drawing far outweighed by facilitating oil consumption at low speeds elm leblanc and requires elm leblanc verification and possible adjustment of end gap as other upper rings. The piston elm leblanc is very good, superlative, very well done, but the rings could be the most modern type. Not because it belies the original pattern, elm leblanc but I still prefer the other three pieces in the oil ring.
The original gaskets are incompráveis, the game was worth something surreal and many thousand dollars. Has parallels thing game by one fifth of the value. But do not be fooled, buy side game in which all joints unless a benefit, but that does not pay at all is exactly parallel to the head, which is buying the Fiat for 4 or 5 cylinder engines, Fiats or Alfas by measly 200 reais or less to 4 cylinders. Parallel lasting at most a 50,000 elm leblanc km and burn, resulting in a beautiful prejudice. Of course, nobody taught me, I learned the cruelest way, luckily it was only the gasket, I have not lost anything other disso.Outra good tip is to look for seals Corteco brand, elm leblanc much cheaper than the originals, but they are good quality.
Another cool tip here: the head gasket Marea 1.8 16V 4-cylinder, which is the same as the Brava HGT 1.8, serves on our Romeo145/155 and Alfa 156. Has not authorized in the same part number, but it is.
- Go to tighten the head with that bullshit degrees? A friend who works in a workshop there somewhere, after which Judas lost his boots, said he knows how many kgf m have to press, equal to common motor.
Another I heard was about the very poor quality of replacement bearings Frontier and Best, who can buy there. Checked all, not initially have anything that discredit. The dimensional control of them is good. Have a steel core with a good layer of sintered metal on top, giving a favorable initial impression. As he had not so much as choosing something different, I used them. Result? Another wise choice, no problem here too.
Today is the Marea with 160,000 km, not merged, not knocked again, does not consume any oil, does not give problems. Only thing to complain is that it has a huge amount elm leblanc of hoses that obviously could have sid
