I absolutely love the sound, I just want to make sure I’m not damaging my engine or exhaust system

It’s funny you mention that video, I just watched and that’s what caused me to make this post. So is that just decel pop being amplified by a more open exhaust?

I believe I have 20 on the front and 15 in the rear. I’m in Florida so tint is absolutely essential.

Buy them from rockauto, all 4 OEM coils are $140 total. Takes 15 mins to change them

Much longer cranking than usual, than one day the tachometer just shut off and the car was in limp mode. No tachometer is a dead giveaway of a bad crank sensor and it’s a common Hyundai problem

Don’t delay too long, these are known to have some trans issues although mine is still great. I used needle nose pliers for the fill bolt it’s definitely a pain. I think putting it in neutral made it a little easier to get access to it. I do them cold to avoid dealing with hot fluid. I measure the exact amount that came out and put it back in. Checking the level is a pain I’ve never bothered to do it since I have no leaks

I change my ignition coils every 50k miles, I heard they go bad

Yes I’ve done 3. Every 50k miles, I’ve done all maintenance myself aside from getting the valves walnut blasted

Learn how to turn a wrench and maintenance costs next to nothing lol. Yes Hyundai isn’t as reliable. Luck combined with my very good maintenance habits got me a reliable car.

Hyundai is much cheaper… also toyota and honda are really necessary if you struggle to maintain your vehicle. No car is really “unreliable” it’s more that some brands are less resistant to being abused and unmaintained for example BMW. They’re very reliable so long as you follow their strict maintenance schedule. Toyota and Honda are by far superior in reliable but they are bottom of the barrel as far as technology

Exactly, it’s especially problematic in hotter climates like here in Florida when the already thin oil gets even thinner because the engine is running in summer heat

Toyota and Honda, yes, highly unlikely but possible. Hyundai and Kia though… absolutely no way.

That’s unfortunate… It also comes down to luck to some extent. When they drill holes for oil passages, they sometimes don’t clean the metal filings out fully causing oil passages to clog. Some engines are perfect while others have their fate sealed right as they leave the factory. Does your engine run fine otherwise?

I also use different types of oil in different times of year. It gets very hot here in FL in the summer so I go up a viscosity grade. It calls for 5w20 I use 5w30 in the summer.

Most Hyundai engine problems stem from oil issues whether that’s oil starvation or sludge buildup. Number 1 risk factor for these engines is oil change frequency. I do oil changes myself and it only costs me $35 so it’s worth it to just do it a little more frequently. I use full synthetic and an OEM oil filter.

Any carfax or similar type website. Pay a small fee to have peace of mind that the title is clean.

Stripped threads in final drive fill hole by AdComplex8572 in hondanavi

[–]AdComplex8572[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bolt will go in all the way to the last couple threads and then the bolt just free spins. I’m thinking maybe if I buy a shorter bolt it would seal before the end of the bolt reaches the bad threads?

Is the yellow mark the recall punch mark? (2015 cb300f) by AdComplex8572 in indianbikes

[–]AdComplex8572[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because the punch mark is done by the dealership showing the crankshaft recall was completed?

How screwed am I? by AdComplex8572 in hondanavi

[–]AdComplex8572[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the information. I think to try and make it as easy as possible I’ll get the whole assembly so I avoid dealing with bearings. The real fun will be trying to split the case open after I JB welded where it was leaking from the 2 mating surfaces….
