Hello Folks,
If you guys already read my thread Ultimate Guide For Maintaining Chevrolet Beat Diesel, you may know that after selling my beat diesel, I started the hunt for a sedan. This thread is the continuation of that story...[:D]
I tried my best to add as much details and technical informations as possible. Hope this thread may be useful for many....

The Hunt
The size, the comfort and the design of the hatchbacks really become tedious to me after i had used them for so long. I really need an upgrade as quick as possible, but at the same time i don't want an entry level sedan because it lacks the feel and looks of a proper sedan. Buying a new car is way out of my list because of my very tight budget and the new BS6 Emission Norms (BS6 really chokes the diesel engine and makes the engine unreliable when comparing to BS4).

Things I Want:
  • Comfortable for Long Drives
  • Low Maintenance
  • Good Space (Legroom, Headroom,Boot space)
  • Good Handling
  • Mileage
  • Spare Parts Availability
  • Adequate Power

Cars Shortlisted according to my budget:

Fluidic Verna
I really love that car. Its so powerful, fun to drive and looks really hot. But when it comes to 'maintenance' it may blast your pockets especially if you are planing for engine rebuild. So i decided to leave that dream and move on...[sad]

Tata Manza Quadrajet
Its a good car with good space,Fiat's Multijet engine and good handling. But i really hate the look of that car, it feels so boring and outdated.So decided to skip it

Maruri Suzuki Sx4
Its a very good car with Comfortable seats, Good handling, Cheaper to maintain (some parts are not that cheap), Multijet 90hp Engine, Spacious Cabin, Boot etc. My favourite part of this car is that it doesn't feel cheap like other maruti cars..

So after a ton of research i decided to go for Sx4. But finding a good Sx4 is little tough. Even though Sx4 is a very good car, the 90hp Multijet is not as reliable as the 74bhp varient. I saw many Sx4 owners done engine overhaul at just 90/100K kms.
(Imagine purchasing a car from a very tight budget and then later you are realizing that you need an engine overhaul!!
That will be horrible...)I don't want to take that risk.
So instead of purchasing a pre owned Sx4 that runs below 1L kms, i decided to go for a car that runs above 1L kms.
It may sound crazy, but trust me, that was the best decision I ever made!![evil]
After searching in Olx for a week, i finally found a car with very good condition. I immediately called the owner and booked an appointment.
When we reached his place, this was the view waiting for us.

Love at First Sight...

Compress_20220424_182751_1693.jpg

The car was in excellent condition. Even though the car crossed 1.67L Kms, it didn't feels like that. (I have driven many Sx4 before as a part of this hunt, but those cars are not as clean and good as this one.) The owner maintained the car very well and did periodic services regularly at MASS.
He also told me that he recently replaced the radiator fan motor and vacuum pump.
After inspecting the car thoroughly, i am fully satisfied with the condition of the car.. (Ofcourse the engine needs overhaul, but thats not a problem for me right now...)
So without wasting anymore time, we fixed the deal with the owner at a decent price and bring her to my home exactly that day..

At My Home

Problems with the car:
  • Heavy White Smoke at Cold Start (Indication of worn out valve seal)
  • Second Gear is not engaging properly (Common problem of this gearbox)
  • Rattling noise from front suspension
  • Wornout Gear Knob, Boot and Lever assembly (Excess freeply from gear lever)
  • Very High Oil Consumption
  • Sticky Steering Wheel
  • Leaks from Transmission
  • RPM Fluctuations
  • Lots of Minor and Major Scratches in almost every part of the body [frustration]
Except that, the overall conditon of the vehicle is very good..
(No accident history, no rust buildup, no sensor or wiring related issues. Each and every function of the vehicle is working properly and the vehicle is very neatly maintained)

After removing the high pressure line, cover the pipes immediatly with insulation tape to prevent dirt or dust

Now lets disconnect the wiring harness to make more space
Compress_20220425_115442_2133.jpg
Compress_20220425_115443_3119.jpg

Now let's remove the injector..
(In many cases these injectors won't come loose that easily, so before overhauling the engine, I poured brake fluid into this area for around 1 week and drove the vehicle with that. This trick will loosen up the injectors and you can easily remove injectors without the injector puller)

Wonderful!! You are overhauling it properly. There is very little rusting in underbody area.
You could have pressure washed it thoroughly before proceeding with the work. That way it would have been easy to work with clean engine bay as well as differentiate rusted from non rusted areas.


I have never used brake fluid to loosen up / clean injectors. It's scary. I always hear brake fluid is toxic and corrosive for paint etc. It might enter somewhere it's not supposed to be.

Are you doing it all by yourself or there is a mechanic/helper/brother/assistant to help you out ?

Yeah, but i dont think washing makes any huge difference at this stage... Because the engine and gearbox was completly soaked with very thick layer of oil and dirt. We can't use pressure washer in those areas.. As my primary focus was on the engine and gearbox, i don't think washing makes any huge benifit in this conditon..
So i decided to skip the washing process..

I agree with you. (I know that brake fluid is not good for plastic and painted surfaces), but trust me, as per my experience, it won't damage anything here if you use it correctly.
You only need a little bit of brake fluid near the injector, and that little amount of brake fluid won't spill or enter any other area.
If you still don't like using brake fluid, you can use Coca-Cola as an alternative.[:D]
WD-40, Zorrik 88 etc won't work well if the injector is seized too much.. Because it may evaporate quickly when the engine warms up..

Are you doing it all by yourself or there is a mechanic/helper/brother/assistant to help you out ?
Yes, I am doing this all by myself.[:D]
My brother (who is not interested in this kind of stuff) is helping me only for the removal and Installation of the engine.

Condition of Transmission Oil!
Look at those golden particles in the transmission oil. It is from the synchronizer ring, and this is a clear indication of a worn out synchronizer ring.
(This is a common problem for many Maruti cars that share the same gearbox.)

Engine Ready to Remove..
[I am not encouraging anyone to use this method. Because this method is too risky, especially if you don't have enough experience. A small mistake may end up damaging your engine block or gearbox housing, which costs a bomb to replace. So do not try this method if you don't have enough confidence and support (you need at least 3 people to do this properly).]
I HIGHLY RECOMEND to use a chain block or engine hoist to remove the engine.

Its very surprising to see that the radiator has 2 fans and both are totally different.
They are of different sizes different shapes and different blade numbers,5 and 7 too !! Is it OEM ??

This is how it is in my Nexon.

Yes as @deville_56 mentioned, it is completely stock. I think that it was designed to fit properly in that tight space.

Yes as @deville_56 mentioned, it is completely stock. I think that it was designed to fit properly in that tight space.
I agree, this is OEM setup, engineered to fit in the space provided.


This work of yours has gone beyond DIY level. It looks like garage- level work going on with engine dismantling and all. What is surprising is you are not taking help from a professional !!
Great job. Great going.[thumbsup]
I am worried how will you put it all back together?

p.s What tools are you using in this work.? Post some pics please.

Don't worry, I've labelled and separated each nut and bolt during the stripping stage to avoid problems in the future.[;)]

Removing the Starter

One bolt is located inside this hole, to access that bolt we need to remove that rubber cover.

Removing Crank Pulley
To remove crank pulley you need to lock the timing first (Cam and Crank). Then rotate the crank pulley bolt clockwise using the special socket bit E18. (External Torx)
(Yes, the bolt is reverse threaded!)

Look at that ugly cheap red silicone sealant. I really hate that thing. Completly kills the clean look of the engine..[anger]

Found a shocking thing inside valve cover. A broken Rocker Arm!! [shock]
Compress_20220426_112354_4099.jpg

I didn't feel any loss of power or anything like that while driving.
On detailed inspection, found that HLA(Hydraulic Lash Adjuster)had lost its tension and was now working freely.

After Removing Cylinder Head
Compress_20220426_112508_8300.jpg

For removing cylinder head, you need a special socket bit called Ribe Socket Bit and the the size is M12.

Condition of Cylinder Block and Piston
While testing, found that all 4 piston have good amount of free play. (Indication of worn out piston rings or sleeve)
You will hear a knocking sound if the piston has free play like this.(Yes, this engine has that knocking sound, and I already noticed that when I saw this car for the first time.)

Clutch Removed
Compress_20220426_112407_7677.jpg

One of the clutch cover bolts' heads was stripped while unscrewing. So I used an angle grinder to cut it out.
(Don't worry, we don't need these anymore..)

Seperating Crankcase
Compress_20220426_112418_8180.jpg

You don't need to bang hard with a hammer or do anything crazy to separate the crankcase.
Just remove all the bolts and then do a little bit of prying in the marked area with a screwdriver. That's all you need..

What are the symptoms of broken rocker arms??
Why would it break by itself in the first place??


It would have remained hidden if not for this diy.
