swbaggies Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Afternoon, I have a 2013 Honda click 125i with just over 83k on the clock. It needs an engine refurb, any ideas where I can get it done or a price. The local Honda dealer said 12k with no warranty. Location on the island not an issue, any suggestions or experience of if this is a good price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I understand from broken English and Thai a replacement but the "new" engine is a refurbished one.. Not new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The road side shops ( shacks) round my way ( Jomtien) charge about 3000 baht for a total engine strip down but they only replace the bare minimum so in my case it was the piston and rings + crank shaft bearings.. its almost worth 3000 baht just to avoid the pain in the butt of removing all the plastic bits just to get to anything on the engine and then putting them all back on ????

New valves, bearings, pistons, rings and a few other bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought that the OP will get a similar price by a local mechanic. One piston should be enough, methinks. Perhaps a new timing chain and valve seats should be part of it.

Next time you change oil, don't forget to fill it up with new oil. Seriously, what was the reason for this 'mishap'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "girly" driving it only ever put "go juice" in, never checked/changed the oil..eventually the rocker cover gasket failed and because of the cylinder head being laid over at 90 degrees to vertical all the oil leaked out and it seized up.. with the whole engine being covered by the plastic bits you can't see the oil leaking.
