Engine After Operation Cleanup... It was real dirty, believe me :) "Right-Click+Open in new tab" for 1600x1200 large image.

 I was having problem with Oil leak from my engine for some time and it got worse with the passing moments, I finally decided to get rid of the problem and make some renewals and cleaning under my car's hood. So I went to the workshop where the mechanic uninstalled the engine and changed all the seals, cleaned the engine with kerosene oil and put new packing for the oil chamber and checked for any other leaks.

Gear Box also cleaned from inside out. New Clutch-Barring installed. "Right-Click+Open in new tab" for 1600x1200 large image.

The gear box was also opened, cleaned and new clutch-barring was installed, now the clutch feels way better and softer than before and gears are easy to change, previously the clutch got very stiff and had to push it full to the wall to put the car into gear.

Also got new clutch-plate installed, sorry, couldn't get the pictures of it. It was a DK - Exedy clutch plate for FX, which I previously had installed 2.5 years ago, it wore out because of all home drivers learning on this car and harsh, rough and in-experienced driving. :) now the car is performing better.

Installing seals everywhere under the hood. :) "Right-Click+Open in new tab" for 1600x1200 large images.

My sweet-heart, my first car :) This is a 1988 model Suzuki FX. This car is quite affordable around 80-90 thousand PKR with CNG Kit installed, it has good mileage on CNG, my car is on both petrol and CNG. My car might look dirty and damaged on the outside, but with the grace of GOD it has given me great companionship, I bought it in July 2009 and have done around 19,000 miles since than... :) very durable, can bear shocks and jumps, now a days popular in town for afforability.

If maintained properly, it's a faithful ride. :) I'll be sharing more FXperience time to time.

Actually this car is a predecessor of today's Suzuki Alto. Suzuki Alto was first born in 1979 the car which is called FX in Pakistan is I think from the 2nd Generation Suzuki Alto, you can learn more on wikipedia about Suzuki Alto: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Alto
