Camary, you don't say how many miles your Hyundai's covered. But, modern engines will cover well over 200,000 miles before needing rings. I don't believe your mechanic's being honest with you. How does he know your car needs rings? There are other reasons a car could burn oil (I presume the smoke's blue). Worn valve stem seals, worn cylinder bores, worn piston rings, wrong grade of engine oil or a blocked crankcase breather. Besides, an engine needing rings may well require an over bore, which will mean new (larger) pistons and matching rings to fit the slightly larger bores. Expensive, it'd be cheaper to buy a good used engine (of course your "mechanic" will make less from your wallet). The way you describe your problem, I'd be inclined to suggest your valve stem seals are at fault. They won't cause smoking on idle to moderate speeds, but will certainly produce a smoke screen at higher engine speeds. Replacement can be done with the cylinder head in situ, with just the camshaft(s) removed. All depends on how good your spanner man is though. If not, he'll have to remove the cylinder head, not a big job on a Hyundai. First port of call should be checking your oil grade - if you're unsure, drain it, fit a new filter, and fill to the required quantity with 10W-40 semi-synthetic. Don't use 0W-30/40, as it's a bit on the thin side for your car, depending on the mileage, it'll just burn it up, with visible smoke at higher RPM. Next, get your spanner man to check the crankcase breather. If it's clogged up with carbon deposits, it'll cause the oil within the engine to pressurise, forcing it out through the valve stems (blow-by). |

What is colour of the smoke ? Also check the air filter, whether it is in place. Do not touch the engine until you have done a compression test. |

i feel the problem is associated with improper fuel delivery.so my guess is your vehicle has alraedy limped in(check engine light illuminated), what you are probably dealing with is a malfunctioning MAP sensor which can cause the ECU to calculate the fuel needed for the engine wrongly.If the engine runs normally when during this smoking,i'll strongly suggest you check this or better still subject your car to electronic diagnosis to be sure. |
