It's normal for the cam to be able to be turned a little in the dephaser after the engine is stopped. During cranking the dephaser will move to one end of its range and lock in place until there is sufficient oil pressure; you just performed that operation manually with the wrench. None of that means it's broken but rattling on startup is a common failure with dephasers, they can get so bad it sounds like a diesel instead of a gas engine.

Some rattle in VVT phasors is normal for a few seconds until oil pressure is up when the engine has set long enough for the oil to drain out of the phasors. The rattle is just the phasors hitting their end of travel stops until they fill so the computer can fine tune the timing. It is important to use the correct recommended weight of oil on any VVT engine.

Also thank you for pointing out the links, I was going off of the markings. My ex was driving my car when she said it just stopped running at a red light. I know it's a compression issue because when I used the tester the first time all came back 30psi, I saw the chain skip or something when I had the cover off, tested again and it was 60psi. This car running does something around 120psi so hopefully I'm on the right path with the timing.

Good on you for being honest. Big is relative, of course. It is, OTOH, one of those jobs you have to do exactly right, because the alignment of the marks and chain has to be right on.

[@Black3ternity]

Nothing to hide here - Probably just cutting out finagling the chain, hitting the camera 10 more times with a wrench and getting everything in position. He even said at 16:36 "That stuff moved - that's okay". So he was aware of it and didn't need to hide stuff.

[@silicon212]

Just a little rotation of the engine is all it took to line the horizontal marks up. You could tell by looking at it that was the case. As long as the marks on the sprockets/phasers line up with the marked links on the chain, it will be fine. When the engine is clocked to exact TDC, the horizontal marks will be in line. My only concern looking at this was the slack in the bottom of the chain around the crank sprocket. If the engine is turned clockwise after this, no harm no foul - everything will be fine but if the crank is turned CCW, then timing will be off a tooth.

[@graken22]

@@silicon212 Thats where the tensioner comes into play.

[@silicon212]

@@graken22 Tensioner has nothing to do with it in this instance - if the crank is moved clockwise, the marked link on the chain which is engaged with the mark on the sprocket, will remain in that location and as the crank is turned to the left (CW), the slack will disappear and then the tensioner will do its thing. If the crank is turned CCW, the same thing will happen but the crank will be off a tooth on the cam timing with respect to the cams. This is because there is an extra link worth of slack in the bottom of the crank. Turn one direction, things work out well - turn the other, things don't.

Interesting video... my wife's 2011 Elantra sedan has been making this noise on startup for years. I've always assumed it was simply the tensioner and that, if the noise goes away after a second, it's probably harmless for the most part. I can't see doing such a major repair unless the symptoms get worse -- such as the noise lasts longer than a second or two, or if it comes back after the engine has been running awhile (that is, not just on startup). When that happens, I had always planned to dump the car. Sure won't buy a Hyundai again.

Only problem is, I replaced both hydraulic chain tensioners, all the guides, VVT's and everything in there while I had it apart. Still rattles! I believe it has oil delivery issues because the previous owner did not believe in oil changes. I cleaned everything I could access while the timing chains, oil pan, intake and VVT,s were out/off. Didn't work. It has helped running Seafoam in the oil and changing it every 2000-2500 miles. Lots of coked oil and crap in the oil filters.

hopefully i'm not too late... i'm an old Kia tech, most of our manuals said to install our belts and chains clockwise starting with the exhaust cam. that puts all of your slack on the adjuster side. of course they gave us cam locks and such but most were plastic and sucked. several aftermarket cam locks worked better but you seemed to manage it just fine without them. In the older Kia/Hyundai engines with timing belts, especially the 3.5L V6 engines, you could get all the cams lined up and wrap the crank, install the tensioner, LOOKS GOOOOD. then rotate the engine a full turn (twice on the crank) and it would be off 1 tooth every time. We finally found there were four 12mm threaded holes behind the cams worked great to make our own cam locks that keep the cams from moving. B2 exhaust was the only one that the threaded hole was in the middle of the cam hole instead of on a bar. We made a bent metal bracket that "filled" the hole in the cam face and worked great. Never had an issue after that. Also, if you deal with timing belts on those old 3.5L Sorentos, it isn't work fighting the radiator and condenser, drain both and pull the entire core support and you can yank the radiator and condenser and cooling fans out as a unit and have open access to the front of the engine. Knocked a timing belt time from 4 hours to just over an hour and a half. Love your videos! i miss teching... just don't miss the body aches (cuz they are still with me :( lol)

[@johneagle7842]

when i put the belt on everything was lined up but doing an extra spin knocked it out line so after some spinning nope, so i removed tensioner and grabbed the crank and turned it so the dot would line up and put it back together, (the tensioner i used a clamp and sqeezed it in and put the pin back in , in short the car runs fine. have a good day ray .

Those Hyundai GDI engines are notorious for that rattle noise on start up. It goes away in like .5 seconds after start up. Even after repairing the timing chain tensioner, it'll come back in just a few months. Hyundai calls it a "character noise". Oil pressure is needed to make the tensioner work. When the engine has sat for a while the oil has settled. So you can't really get rid of that sound in a hyundai GDI engine.

@@TormentedPenguin, hi, thanks for your reply. The rattle lasts about 1-2 seconds on initial morning startup. From my research, I think it's the timing chain tensioner. There are no other symptoms. I change the oil (with synthetic and high-quality filters) myself more frequently than required, so I think the engine is healthy. It's been making this rattle for years and I'm inclined to live with it until there are other symptoms. I know there is a risk of it skipping timing, but I'm hoping that risk is fairly low and that I'll get warning before anything bad happens!

40+ years of plastic bits in the engine, 40+ years of chemical research, and still everything becomes brittle after 6 months of operation, or stiff and unwilling to work as intended.

[@MrLarsgren]

back in the days they made quality. now its quantity. they make money on parts not the actual car. you wont see companys going bankrupt like Kreidler did because they made their product too well and didnt sell parts. i know its just a moped but they handed out silver and gold pins to owners having machines going 50.000 - 100.000 km without anything changed. a honorable way to go down. and those small engines could take a beating. in 1968 they set a 110 mph topspeed with a small 50 ccm engine.

[@groovedodger]

@@MrLarsgren Yes I used to dream of getting one of those as a teenager but had to "make do" with trying everything I could to make my Yamaha FS1E go faster (made 70mph down a big hill)

@@dragonmaker1541 planned obsolescence is the worst thing ever, I know they do it to make money, but c’mon, the least they can do is make a good car.

[@dunebasher1971]

​@@mx_nana_banana "Planned obsolescence" very rarely has any meaning in terms of cars. Can you point to any component in a car that's purposely designed to fail after a set period? No, you can't, because there aren't any. The same component will last a longer or shorter period in any given vehicle due to all manner of factors completely outside the manufacturer's control.

[@Healthliving1967]

Spare parts will get more and more scarce as the supply chains around the world are heavily disrupted. It will get to a stage where you wont be able to repairs with new parts,they will all be second hand parts soon. Sht is about to hit the fan real soon.

I was thinking the same thing " How does this guy keep track of all those different bolts , nuts and screws??? " I saw when he took apart a whole dash apart and to me he was just letting them fall on the floor and I was thinking , man I could never do what he does !!! The times I do work on my own vehicle I always end up with extras. ( after everything is well , sort of , in it's place. )

Parts delay a victim of supply chain issues perhaps? I personally would have liked to learn more on what to look for in assessing the faulty phazer. It would be helpful for me.

Just had my 2011 Elantra GL diagnosed with the same rattling on cold startup (last month, 145,000 km). Had to replace the oil and used a Hyundai OEM oil filter. Noise disappeared. Avoided a $4000 job as you see here. An individual situation may differ.

That Hyundai has a nice setup for setting valve timing. Setting valve timing on my early model Porsche 911 flat-six engine involved a dial indicator, a camshaft with 14 holes, a camshaft sprocket with 13 holes, and a 4mm pin. You would put the dial indicator on the intake rocker arm of cylinder #1 at TDC after first making absolutely sure the valve clearance was set correctly, and then by trial and error find the one position on the camshaft sprocket where one of the 13 holes lined up with one of the 14 holes and at the same time be sure the dial indicator readout was within tolerances. Then, put the pin through the matching holes, secure the sprocket with the big nut... and repeat the procedure on the other side of the engine on cylinder #4 TDC. Oh, those were the days. Believe it or not, the procedure was actually more difficult than it sounds from this description.

[@m476nycity]

The Germans just love to make stuff 10X more complicated than it needs to be for the same results. I have German cars as well as other makes. I hate it when the German ones need service, which is very often. The others just get an oil change and keep on going. Makes me wonder why I even bother with German cars.

[@FireStriker_]

When I watched that jump I was worried that the timing was stuffed. I assume you corrected for it. Can’t wait to watch the next part when parts arrive

[@kennethmurphy3787]

Ok I have two issues that I've seen idk if they are issues but to me they seem to be...ok 1 are you going to drain the oil and put new in because you sprayed alot of brake cleaner in the oil pan and 2 when you lined up the chain on the bottom in the video the chain wasn't seated on the teeth and you left it that way then put the tensioner on and pulled the pin. Did that seat the chain on the teeth on the crank teeth? Also love watching your videos...

[@shmeebsnaggle6315]

I was wondering the same thing! I cringed when I watched the scrapings and all the brake cleaner going into the oil pan..😅

I've got a "funny" for you about a car part. I worked for 25+ years as an "Old-School" auto mechanic. I quit when they started putting all that electronic and computer stuff in them. This is a true story: I was helping some people I know with their yard work. Their son pulls in, goes in the house and comes back out. By this time, one of his buddies pulls in. The son pulls a muffler out of the back seat of his car and tells his buddy that the muffler will add an extra 15-hp to his engine. They put that muffler on his buddy's car. 25+ years as a mechanic and I never knew a muffler could add hp to an engine. I always thought you had to modify the engine to increase its hp. What part of auto mechanic school did I miss?
