Help! I recently purchased a 1994 Hyundai Lantra 1.8litre twin cam 16 valve sedan, knowing that the engine was not running. Having found the reason it was not running, (broken cam pulley dowel) and in the process of fixing it, I am wondering if someone on this forum can give me the lowdown on doing the cam timing. This info would be most appreciated.

I saw this post only now. A 2-year old engine is still under WARRANTY. We have seen these phenomena occasionally, and will be repaired with no cost to you. I am sure, that this applies to the UK as well.

Hi Duke. I cannot believe that on the hyundai forum I cannot get anything at all re 1.8l elantra twin cam timing setup. I also don't know how you came to the canclusion that my motor is 2 years old. It is a 1994 model.
I also don't know why people post when their post is less than useful. I really need advice on timing, not on warranty.
Cheers

OOOPS, my mind was on 04 Elantra.
You MUST replace the tensioner as well. Leave the locating pin in place, when you adjust the belt. Do the adjustment as tight as you can, rotate the engine several times, line up the cams, and then check the mark on the crank. Remember, that the oil pump sprocket lines up with its mark every 3rd crankshaft revolution. Only if the belt time is ok, then pull the pin out of the tensioner. Turn the crank a few more turns, wait a few minutes, and see if you can insert the pin partially through the plunger. Then the adjustment is good.

Open the attachment.

sorry, can't add the instructions; I will try to PM it to you.
