abeg Remans this thing once and for all

no worry 6-10 working days

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.

snipesdam:
What's the mileage on this engine? Was it bought brand new?

Quite sad the sleeve is worn. The engine is really clean.

Inception:


It is a very common issue with Hyundai/KIA engines manufactured between 2009 to 2013 (G4KD, G4kE ,nu engines, gamma engines etc.). it is not so bad here due to our kind of climate (tropical) as initial engine start temperature in frigid zones can accelerate the problem.

This problem has been attributed to many factors, short piston length, metal debris left within engine after engine manufacture which will also affect crankshaft, quick wearing of piston wrist pins, quick wearing of coating on piston, etc,etc.

Only solution is to replace short block(rare), re-bore block( as blocks is already ovalized) or replace engine.

for those having vehicles with such engines, best bet is to let your vehicle warm up from cold start for at leat 2 minutes before drive off. this can mitigate the issue to a degree.

whether you change your oil every 1000 km does not matter. on such defective engines from factory, this is bound to happen.

So much for Korean build quality (food for Toyota zombies )

[b]Those this issue also affect beta engines that ships with US spec hyundai elantra of 2001 to 200[/b]9.

My 2008 elantra comes with the gamma 1.6 engine .. Could it also be affected?

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.

diportivo:
