 REVISED CRANKSHAFT DESIGN ON 1.8 & 2.0L HYUNDAI
                                             Revised Crankshaft Design For
                                       1996-2000 Hyundai 1.8 & 2.0L Engines

The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information on 1996-2000 Hyundai 1.8 & 2.0L engines. Several other components including the flexplate/flywheel required changes to accommodate the new crankshaft designs. These engines are used in the Elantra and Tiburon car models.

The new crankshafts, Part #23110-23710 for the 2.0L and Part #23110-23510 for the 1.8L, were released July 8, 1999 and have the following dimensional changes as illustrated in Figure 1.

A.	The flywheel mounting flange (pilot) diameter has been reduced from 1.614(41 mm) to 1.3780 (35 mm).
B.	The flywheel mounting flange (pilot) height has been increased from .1575 (4 mm) to .2560 (6.5 mm). 
C.	The crankshaft rear flange thickness has been reduced from .8071 (20.5 mm) to .7087(18 mm). 
D.	The crankshaft rear flange bolt hole depth has been reduced from .5315-.6496 (13.5-16.5 mm) to .4528-.5512 (11.5 mm -14 mm).

NOTE: The new crankshafts are not interchangeable with the previous ones. However, a crankshaft spacer (Part #23112-23900) can be attached to the new crankshafts to make them interchangeable with the older crankshafts.

The flywheel and flex plate assemblies have also been changed to fit the new crankshaft. The new flywheel and flex plate assemblies are not backward compatible with the older crankshaft. However, the older flywheel and flex plate can be made interchangeable by mounting a crankshaft spacer (Part #23112-23900) onto the new style crankshaft.

·  The flywheel and flex plate assembly pilot bore diameter has been reduced from 1.6142 (41 mm) to 1.3780 (35 mm).
·  The flywheel pilot bore depth has been increased from .1969 (5.0 mm) to .2953 (7.5 mm). 
 
Each crankshaft and flywheel / flexplate combination necessitates that specific mounting bolts to the crankshaft are used. Tables 1 and 2 identify the different combinations for manual and automatic transaxles.

 CAM TO CAM TIMING FOR 2.0L DOHC HYUNDAI ENGINES
                                     Camshaft-To-Camshaft Timing Caution On 
                                Hyundai Elantra, Tiburon 2.0L DOHC 2001-2003

AERA members report that an error was made in the Hyundai OEM engine shop manual covering 2001-2002 Elantra and the 2003 Tiburon vehicles. The diagram used to show camshaft-to-camshaft timing is incorrect in the manuals for the above-mentioned vehicles. If the camshaft-to-camshaft timing is wrong the vehicle will run rough and set a DTC P0340 code.

Note that the CORRECT timing diagram shows that the keyway positions are located approximately at the 2:30 O?clock position and the blue colored timing chain links line up with both timing marks on the gears.

The incorrect diagram shows the left cam timing mark on the cam gear to be 1/2 link to the left of the blue timing link.

                                                                    The AERA Technical Committee
 INTERFERENCE ENGINES
                                          Interference Engines

The AERA Technical Committee would like to offer the following information on engines that present the possibility of interference between pistons and valves. The interference or contact may bend valve(s) when the timing between the camshaft and crankshaft is interrupted. This is generally the result of a timing belt or chain breaking or slipping.

The following list are engines that AERA is currently aware of that have exhibited interference. There may be other engines that are not listed below that have the possibility of piston to valve contact. If the engine you are working on is not listed, do not assume that it is a freewheeling design. It is suggested to add to this listing as additional information is obtained.

 REVISED LASH ADJUSTER FOR HYUNDAI ENGINES
                                              Revised Lash Adjuster For
                       1992-2003 Hyundai 1.6,1.8, 2.0, 2.4, 3.0 & 3.5L Engines

The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information regarding a revised lash adjuster for 1992-2003 Hyundai engines. This lifter revision applies to all of the engines shown in the chart below used by Hyundai.  The new larger hole lash adjuster has been installed on engines produced beginning October 2000. 

The major visual difference between the two lifters is the oil hole opening size located at the top of the lifter as viewed in Figure 2.  The oil hole opening was doubled in size from .059 (1.5 MM) to .118 (3.0 MM). The new lash adjuster assembly may be installed on the engines, if replaced as a set within the engine. It is not recommended to mix the two different adjusters. 

The new hydraulic lash adjuster (P/N 24610-33050) with a larger oil hole has been released to reduce engine noise. AERA is aware of at least one aftermarket source at this time.
                                                                      The AERA Technical Committee
 REVISED OIL FILTER SEAL ON 1986-87 1.5L ENGINES
                    Revised Oil Filter Seal 
            on 1986-87 Hyundai 1.5L (92 CID) Engines


Hyundai has modified the oil filter seal on the oil filter
assembly that is used on 1986-87 1.5L (92 CID) engines.  The new
oil filter assembly, part #26300-21010, provides increased
sealing capabilities and is the only replacement part serviced by
Hyundai.  While the oil filter has been revised, it still carries
the part number of the former filter.  

You can differentiate between the former and the revised oil
filter assembly (Figure 1) by measuring the height of the sealing
ring (Figure 2).  The revised sealing ring is .102 (2.6 mm)
tall, whereas the former sealing ring measures only .099 (2.4
mm).  The width of the oil filter base contact side of the
sealing ring has also been increased by decreasing the sealing
ring taper.

Engines produced after March 4, 1987 carry the new oil filter.

 CONNECTING ROD ASSEMBLY CAUTION
                                         Connecting Rod Assembly Caution On
                                           1986-94 Hyundai 1.5L VIN J Engines

The AERA Technical Committee offers the following connecting rod to piston assembly caution on 1986-94 Hyundai 1.5L VIN J engines. Failure to use the 
correct procedures may result in loss of interference fit between the piston pin and rod during engine operating. Hyundai does not recommend using heat to 
install the connecting rod on to the piston pin.
 
The recommended procedure from Hyundai is to press the piston pin into the connecting rod. While pressing the rod to the piston pin, make sure only 1,102-3,306 lbs of pressure is used to install the pin. If the force is lower than 1,102 lbs. replace the rod or fit the rod with an oversize piston pin. If over 3,306 lbs of force is required, hone the rod as required to achieve the factory assembly specifications.  

NOTE: Do not exceed 5,000 lbs force while determining assembly pressure.

For Additional information, refer to AERA Technical Bulletin TB-1527.
