I would definitely use junk yard engine with the reputation these engines have

Was your bell housing bolts different sizes

[@NiXFiX]

Same thread and socket size, but some were different lengths.

[@jacobdykes6736]

@@NiXFiX I think it's the 2 on the upper side at the bottom does that sound right

[@chrismccowan]

You need to.replace the short block

[@NiXFiX]

No. You don't. Yes, it is a flawed design. But if a head gasket from the factory lasted 60,000, why can't a replacement last just as long?

[@chrismccowan]

@@NiXFiX its the root cause of the problem. They didnt bore the holes deep enough. This, apparently, is why they drink oil and fail.

[@NiXFiX]

@@chrismccowan totally agree. It is the root cause. But if you have the skills, a free weekend, and less than $50 for a head gasket, that beats paying $5,000+ for a new block.

I have to change the transmission on a 2012 kia optima...im pretty sure its the same setup as this sonata...would you say its easier to remove engine/transmission together and then with it all out swap the transmission? Or is it easier to swap the transmission leaving the engine in

[@NiXFiX]

Swap trans with engine in for sure. Only reason I removed it all was because engine was seized.

[@macknumber9]

@NiXFiX ok I'm a little intimidated by it...I don't have a lift but I have all the tools...I was told that I should have enough room to get it out with the car up on Jack stands

[@NiXFiX]

@@macknumber9 I currently don't have a 2 post lift. I slid the trans back under the car (while it was up on jack stands) while I rebuilt the engine. Currently working on part 2 right now.

@@NiXFiX awesome...that answers my question
