Sabi nga ng iba DIY also means destroy it yourself. Nowadays madami mga mekaniko na di talaga marunong, praktisan lang sasakyan mo. Personally I would rather DIY, you learn stuff and its cheaper o nlabor.

Research is the key, google or youtube..

Last time na nagpa oil change ako nag oofer ba naman ng engine flush. Alam ko na binebentahan lang ako kasi di naman kailangan. Kung hindi lang winter at sinisipag ako ako na nag oil change ng kotse ko. Tipid pa.

1. Top off all the fluids (transmission, brake, coolant, power steering, washer)
2. Change windshield wiper
3. Change tires, rims, hubcaps.
4. Change oil
5. Change sparkplugs
6. Install cold air intake (car modding)
7. Install carbon fiber hood (car modding)

Overhauled my engine again after four months due to lousy overhauling job from a supposedly US trained mechanic!

-ported cylinder head using dremel and sandpaper
-skimmed head via diy float glass and fine sand paper
-honed cylinder walls using honing stones on drill
-replaced all clam shell bearings on main and con rods
-replaced wiper motor due to worn armature
-cleaned and painted all axles, axle housing
-greased all bearings on wheel spindles
-rebuilt differential
-adjusted timing of distributor, cleaned distributor rotor and assembly
-greased leaf springs in between to minimize stiction

After all that engine work is done I can really feel the difference in engine performance, like night and day.

Trivial things like waxing my car gives me a headache, I only wax once every 6 months. Who cares if my vehicle is not spotless, at least I know it wont fail me on the road which is more important than looks.

Vellumoid, just trace the pattern and cut with a sharp scissors, and punch holes out using the right sized tool punch.
For head gasket pagawa ka nalang sa may quiapo area, although not sure a quality ng materials nila (last resort pag wala ng available na replacement head gasket).

^^what is your engine? I think it would be better if you replace it with an OEM or a good quality gaket than to fabricate.

rein1407

ok,, is their any brand you suggest for cylinder head gasket?

jason_10

^You have to post what kind of engine you have. Ideally, OEM is the best.

My dumbest DIY moment was bringing down the stock exhaust manifold on a Nissan GA engine, only to discover the headers i was installing would not fit as it would hit an aircon pipe. DOH! (Lesson learned: shoulda measured clearances beforehand).
