The link for the valve cover gasket set says it doesn't fit a 2014 sonata, is this incorrect?

[@MrRangerZr1]

@@RoccocoVs never rely on amazon's fitment guide. It fits.

Understood, thanks

This video is very to the point not like the other videos who have these guys taken apart things for no reason

[@dalynchmob2000]

Fantastic video without all the typical BS you see in others. Right to the point, clear, quick, and very precise. Thank you!!

[@hamiltonarmando]

Great video saving us $300+ thank you 🙏 was hesitant at first to take it off myself

[@enchantedbananas]

Thanks dude i've come to KZbin for other instructionals on this model car and honestly wish they were all like your format. Great job i thumbs it up.

[@gwenjones4966]

Facts!! I can't stand that page with the engine out of the car and prebroke down. Like come on. I'm out of my element here!! Lol your video was great, I did it wrong with their format but yours is excellent going to repair today

[@SteveCoates-fq2lw]

Clean, clear and direct tutorial. I am headed towards 70. Glad I had tour assistance. Quite different from the old VW horizontally opposed engines where we used to have to set valves every 2-3 K miles.😅 Thank you.

[@hotboyfrom91]

Loved this video. Straight to the point instructions. I completed this job in 2 hours this morning

[@dewkeating]

2011 Sonata 2.0 turbo leaking on to turbo heat shield. I followed this video and finished with no issues in about 2.5 hours. The bolt under the fuel line was a pain. Thanks!!

[@Gtflybmx75]

Thank you (I like grabbing my tools from work before the weekend and this was very helpful) doing the valve cover gasket on my fiancés dads car this weekend a month ago he told me it looked hard “cause of the spring thingy” (fuel pump) and I watched a video then your video and so straight forward thank you

[@JohnBRiley-xw7br]

Thank you for a thorough & clear video with all the info I needed.

[@JohnBRiley-xw7br]

Hello, I am not able to find the O ring you replaced on the fuel pump.

I watched my coworker get fuel sprayed to hell and back a few months ago, coming in here to make sure I don’t do the same 😅

[@rackets001]

Excellent video! Nice clean format! Thanks for posting!

[@davegiron6620]

Thanks for the tutorial it helped me do the job, there was one screw that was hard to take off, and it was under the fuel line bit other than that it went smoothly.

[@SonicOrbStudios]

Yeah he didn't bother showing All you had to remove to get to that single damn bolt. It's a bugger and he just edited right past it 👀

[@YH7R]

Thanks for video much appreciated,however i didn't see your strategy for removing the valve cover bolt located directly under the fuel line ?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Just bend it a little bit or use a wobble extension

شكرا جزيلا❤

عفوا

[@collinlovesapple]

I was told by Hyundai to replace the fuel line because it’s a single use product once uninstalled it’s unusable. That true?

[@MrRangerZr1]

not true just replace the gaskets i showed in the video

[@bigotonbrand]

Is that fuel pump o ring expensive? I'm checking for my 16 sonata, oem, comes out to 40$+...does that sound correct pr can I use regular o rings from autozone? Ty

[@MrRangerZr1]

The set should come with the gasket, check the link in description.

[@patbar8306]

Where are the fuel injectors located on this engine? Are they underneath the intake manifold?

[@MrRangerZr1]

It's GDI, hidden under the intake manifold.

[@Aangrox]

Does it matter if the spark plugs are still on? I didnt see them removed in this video.

[@MrRangerZr1]

Spark plugs do not need to be removed

[@185chargers]

I just put a new valve cover gasket on my 2016 sonata and forgot to put silicone. Its now leaking from one of the spots you pointed out back side. If i remove the cover again to put silicone will the gasket be usable? Its probably been a month or since i put it on the car. Also why the silicone on those 2 spots? Thanks

[@ericc1599]

Yes gasket should be fine just take apart slowly. Silicone there is just extra insurance because of the timing case cover seem in those spots!

[@MrRangerZr1]

yes gasket should be reusable

[@guillermonavarro3042]

@@MrRangerZr1 Does this solves the problem of expulsing white smoke by the exhaust on a Hyundai sonata 2016?

[@engagedasf6291]

So i needed a valve cover replacement, mechanic fixed it but two days later my check engine came on and now they’re saying i have a motor issue. Never did before the first mechanic touched my car. Do you think it could just be something lose underneath my hood?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Take it back to him clearly he didn't do something right

[@justmaccarreviews6240]

So is it best to replace the entire cover? Since heat tends to warp plastic?

[@MrRangerZr1]

That rarely happens

[@NikitaAnnenkov]

Is there a pattern to follow when tightening back the 10 valve cover bolts?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Star pattern

[@NikitaAnnenkov]

@@MrRangerZr1 shoot… I think I stripped the three front bolts.. not sure why but all others lined up, but these are just a bit off with engine block holes.. will continue tomorrow

[@citizens8773]

​@NikitaAnnenkov Will 1 year later 😅 any leaks? I stripped one bolt on my kia stinger, and i worried.

Yes

To what torque rating do we bolt down the valve cover bolts ?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Once they stop tightening stop there, the cover is plastic.

They are 10 ft

First 7.4 then 10 ft

What if the fuel line shoots gas out? Does the vehicle need to be empty on gas?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Watch the video, I show how to relieve the fuel pressure.

[@AmericanCock]

How long does it take for the seal to cure before driving it

[@MrRangerZr1]

Overnight is good enough

[@miguelrodriguezzz639]

Do you have to unplug the battery?

[@MrRangerZr1]

No

[@forevertera0000]

What were the symptoms the reasons you replaced it

[@MrRangerZr1]

Oil leak

[@bzgambini]

I ended up doing it and now i have oil coming out one of the middle top bolts for the cover

improper install gasket may have pinched

[@gina6619]

Is it normal for there to be a rubber smell & smoke after replacement?

[@MrRangerZr1]

From residual oil yes, just clean it off

[@byronz422]

What's the name of the smaller gasket?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Fuel pump gasket, listed in description

[@Pryda-Z]

Why stall the car and not disconnect the battery?

[@MrRangerZr1]

To relieve the fuel pressure. Just disconnecting the battery won't do anything.

[@rayray1846]

What's the avg price to get this done?

[@MrRangerZr1]

I would say more than $300

[@kcomeskyy9911]

Hyundai charges 580

[@marcosvaleyronmartinez2265]

No silicon?

[@MrRangerZr1]

Watch the video again, you have to use sealant on some areas.
