Repair Procedures: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Hyundai Palisade. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The key (A) of crankshaft should be aligned with the timing mark (B) of block. As a result of this, the piston of No. 1 cylinder is placed at the top dead center on compression stroke.

After rotating the crankshaft 2 revolutions in regular direction (clockwise viewed from front), confirm the timing mark.
NOTE:
- Always turn the crankshaft clockwise.
- Turning the crankshaft counterclockwise before building up oil pressure in the hydraulic timing chain tensioner may result in the chain disengagement from the sprocket teeth.
Install the timing chain cover.
(Refer to Timing System - "TIMING CHAIN COVER ")
Install the remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
- Refill engine oil.
- Refill radiator and reservoir tank with engine coolant.
- Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper. Assemble and then apply grease to prevent corrosion.
- Inspect for fuel leakage.
  - After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (without operating the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
  - Repeat this operation two to three times, and then check for fuel leakage at any point on the fuel lines.
