Inception: I really dont think so.
It seems your Hyundai is Dana spec (bought brand new). Omo take good care of that engine o!( the price no be here )
I would let Gazzuz answer on that. this 1.2liter engine is currently about 450k, while the 1.6liter (Dana spec) is 550-600k now.
Currently negotiating for a half engine for this problem.
re-bore, option would have been nice, but I don't trust The machine shops (Oga Turner), There was a time I took a block for a re-bore job the block was cut, but unknown to me, the diameter of the top section of one of the bores was cut larger at the bottom, than at the top and engine was still smoking after the job lost faith in the re-bore process here in naija. Also the new size pistons will take more than 6-10 working days to find and ship.

Inception: It is piston slap. The cylinder walls have been worn, and the pistons protective coating is worn. Only option is to rebore/ replace short block and pistons.
Typical of some Hyundai engines. Quite sad too. Right on the money! |

kaz4sure2015: Good evening Oga Gazzuzz
I need your help please
I had a lexus es350 , the dashboard was displaying oil maintenance error and low washer fluid error, after changing the oil with the recommended oil and filling the washer fluid, the error message is still displaying and wont go.
I recently change all my tires and did wheal balancing and alignment, after all this, the car is still displaying low tire pressure error and alignment error
Can you advise on the possible way of clearing all this error message please.
You can reach me on 08062144529 if require One thing is certain, you have been using kaz4sure to do your jobs.
Maintenence lights can be manually reset by a combination of buttons (Run a Google search for your particular model)
TPMS for your vehicle might be monitoring 5 wheels instead of perceived 4. Pump all 5 tyres to 35psi (MAX) and see if the tyre pressure warning goes away, if it does not, you will need to visit a proper workshop to fix the warning lights. |

Quick way to check for leaking valves, remove the camshafts and pour fuel over the valves with the cylinder turned upside down.
Look inside the intake and exhaust ends of the valve stem area and if there a leak you should see fuel dripping.
So far no leaks.

If it's that easy and he doesn't know how to get himself around it, the OP is advised to bring the vehicle to your workshop den because the method I posted is how I have always seen people do it.

hayjayman: Bro, the solution, dont tell me you cant go to the nearest mechanic village with your proof of ownership, and let a good panel beater, help you heat that stuff out of your wheels, you dont need to come online for this nah, its a security lock for your wheels that comes with its own separate spanner, like the second poster said, if its direct tokunbo, check the box in the trunk, it might probably be inside, i posted the one that came with my car, though all its knots have been removed and put in the trunk, because the buyer might find it difficult to open when it gets the car gets to him, and if removed easily, dont put it back there again cos, at times the threading of the lock in some cases gets awashed and therefore find it difficult to unscrew if its bolt, hope i made myself clear This is bad for the rims. I have provided a simple solution that works 101percent.
It will cost you N200 (N800 for all 4) and common sense and wheel will be free.
