Cecil Derenzi: Any time you have top end problems like a cam, or a valve, you always run a very realistic chance of having head damage. If this is the case, the head will have to be removed and refinished at the least. If there is a bent valve, it may or may not have cause damage to the head. A best case scenario with a bent valve is you replace it, the guide and the guide seal. I would just do the math. How much is it worth in good running condition? How much more will you be into it than market value versus the cost of buying it and the costs of this repair. Keep in mind that not only will the mechanic charge you for the cam, but he will also try to talk you into changing your timing chain and water pump since that part of the engine will already be exposed. The questions should be, will it cost you more money to sell this for what you can get and buy something different, or to repair it and assume the risk that the car might require more repairs down the road. My vote ! - get a Honda, they are bullet proof. Good luck :)...Show more
Anton Waln: Were you abusing it? if not where is the insurance ? any how, don"t sell it.
Inell Riesgo: If you mean a Diahatsu. I personally would get rid of it. Diahatsus are not good vehicles! At least not the ones they are sending to the U.S. I am a auto. tech with 30+ years I have experience with these vehicles especially the engine components which are made with inferior alloys/metals. The tolerances stink. Don't even try to compare this one to other Japanese vehicles like a Honda and Nissan. This company is a concern of Toyota which is a GREAT vehicle so I don't understand?? For a company 100 years old I would think they would make a better vehicle.http://www.daihatsu.com/Maybe they are sending a different vehicle down under than the ones they are shipping over here?? Some swear by these small cars, I just swear at them.http://www.marque.com.au/usedcars/050321_Diahatsu_......Show more
