    I work a lot on kia/hyundai, and this happens on 2.0 and 1.8. Sometimes, they will fire right up and other times, they will jump time again.Just did one today, and it did it.I have to put it back in time.

    • @JunkyardJunkie
      @JunkyardJunkie  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That’s wild to me that it’s that bad. Any upgraded tensioner or anything people can do to help this from happening again? I’ll pin yours to the top for now. Thanks for watching!

      Been there, I did about 20 so far and you know what? I zip tie the two guides now just enough that it will NEVER literally never jump again. Foking insane.

  • @lewisvenable9904
    @lewisvenable9904 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

    2 things.
    When you first put crank at TDC, the repair manual states to turn 3° more before taking guides off. Not sure if you did it off camera.
    secondly, the reason the chain marks dont line up on sprockets after 2 revolutions is because, it takes nearly 100-200revolutions for them to line up again. that amount may be inaccurate, but i know it takes alot of turns.
    oh and one last thing for anyone willing to do this work. If you are doing this job, replace all of your timing components. The oil pump is actually part of your timing since the system runs off of oil pressure. If you have the code p0017, and you replace everything but the oil pump, you may still have a p0017 code. After alot of research and understanding with my own elantra after i did the work, i still had the code. This was back in September. i am now just ordering a new crankcase with oil pump after all these months because this job really exhausted me out.

    • @JunkyardJunkie
      @JunkyardJunkie  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      Great comment. I’ll pin it to the top for others to see. As for the up to 3degrees yes I did. I should have recorded it but no matter what you have to line it up with the mark on the chain.
      I understand it will eventually come back around mainly I’m asking why are they not using a ratchet style tensioner? Because if you hold tension on the chain while someone turns it it will line up perfect every time. So it jumping around before oil pressure builds seems like a terrible design that would be more prone to fail. Whereas, if they just added a ratcheting mechanism it wouldn’t be allowed to go back in.
      That is great advice you’re already in there might as well to save headache further down the road. Thanks for your input. Thanks for watching!

  • @kangaroopawquilts
    @kangaroopawquilts วันที่ผ่านมา

    The reason your tensioner is moving in and out, and the reason your chain is hopping on the cam gears is because it looks like you may have forgotten to reduce chain slack or backlash on the right side of the crank sprocket upon installation of the chain. This is also the reason for the recommended 3 degree adjustment. Remember the tensioner can only reduce chain slack on the left side of the crank sprocket for obvious reasons.

    • @JunkyardJunkie
      @JunkyardJunkie  วันที่ผ่านมา

      I did the 3 degree adjustment. But can you explain why you think this would be the issue? As I showed in the video the tensioner doesn’t have a ratcheting mechanism. So it is purely tensioned via oil pressure.

    Hello, I have a question. I have a Hyundai Elantra 1 and 8 engine 2015 Limited. When I start it in the cold, the sound comes from the engine. It is good if the oil does not burn. There may be a problem

    • @JunkyardJunkie
      @JunkyardJunkie  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Those engines are known for that on cold starts as it waits for the engine oil to get back to the top. I know there was something out stating to use oem filters too or it could cause damage. Honestly Hyundai tend to have engine problems. If not that then the little plastic gear in your steering is prone to failing too. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!

Youll know if its korea built if the first letter of the VIN starts with K. if it starts with the number 5 or any other number, its a US build. Hyundais are really good reliable cars, i blame our country for purposly building an engine with poor quality or assembled parts so that the money goes around. Its the same corrupted business idea that Apple did when they were slowing iphones down per update. smh.

    Do you know what code was the reason to change the timing chain? P0014? I have a 2.0 that may have the same issue.

    • @JunkyardJunkie
      @JunkyardJunkie  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It had p0014 along with misfire on 2 of the cylinders. I suggest checking compression. Hopefully this isn’t your problem but these engines are pretty terrible. If you do have to do it or want to remove your engine it’s not too bad, heres a link to a video I made fully covering it: th-cam.com/video/mgPXhwb--aU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=wjuzHfC0HyDTuWUn

    Just did one today, couldnt understand the reason for the 3 degrees....im assuming once you put tension back on the chain it will move the timing marks so theyll line up....i didn't do that though, i just used a couple of vice grips to lock the cams down and made sure the crank was positioned properly and installed the chain that way. Spun the engine over several times and the marks line up so im gonna cross my fingers that its timed right

      Thanks. Was curious. I have a 2017 Elantra I bought new in August of 2016. It's been a fantastic car. I have 105.000 thousand miles on it now. It has had 0 repairs, and 0 issues. Only things not original on the car is tires ,2 batteries , and wiper blades. It runs and sounds like new, uses no oil. I do take very good care of my cars. It has had 3000 mile oil changes, using Castrol GTX, 5 30, since new. 5 20 recommended, but owners manuel says 5 30, 10,30 may be used, so I chose that. Most reliable car I've ever owned. I've only bought new cars since 1980, so I've had a bunch, some expensive, some cheap like this car. None have gone 100.000 miles without needing some repairs. Even the brake pads are original, I had them inspected 4 months ago when I bought new tires, again I was told, nope there stil good, still don't need new pads yet! Amazing. And no, I'm not running stop lights, and going thru stop signs! 😊

    Good video but you neglected to show the crank at TDC before installing. I've been retiming this same engine for the past year because of following the step that state to turn the crank two to rhree notches and then realigning the camshafts. Come to find out I shouldn't have touch the cams only move the crank 2-3 notches then install the chain. You were kinda doing the same thing I always do but you didn't move the crank the 2-3 notches.
