so this is a follow up video on my thread about HLA's so you can hear what it sounds like.

i took the suggestion of putting thicker oil in and it made no difference, if anything it made the noise louder...

05gttibby, how much did it cost you to replace them all and how long did it take?

Can you tell what side it's coming from and how long has it been like this?
 
#8 ·
its been like this for prob 1000-1500 miles, and i can tell its coming from the back of the engine on the left side

the issue was lack of oil getting up there when my crank seal went, which is why I'm led to believe they are junk and they need replacement. just wondering how much it will cost to replace them, if cheap enough obviously ill do them all but if its pricey ill just do all the rears

i dont question your opinion at all i realize you know a great deal about these cars and i have put a oem filter on before and the proper weight oil and it still does the same thing, i will try the the cleaner today and see what happens

i have read your pst before about ticking as well, also i had hyundai put all new seals in because i had them do my crank seal, and they didn't even change my oil while they dropped everything and they put my Fram back on if they even took it off while they were doing it. when i saw the frame still on there i was puzzled because i would have thought for 550 bucks they would have at least put 20 dollars worth of oil and a 10 dollar filter on

well, the engine cleaning didn't do anything for my issue, i guess i will be replacing the lifters as i suspected. thank you all for your help

i guess my last question would be how much would it cost for me to replace all 24 lifters I'm 90 percent sure its the back two middle that are gone but if I'm in there, don't you think i should just do them all?

See.. Mine is no where near that loud.. it gets loud at high rpm with light pressure on the pedal.
Does it go away when you put a heavy load on it like mine does? It's weird ****.


Oh, and I don't think the cleaner would help you much if you still had the less than oem filter on it.. since the problem was the fram not being able to keep pressure high enough to feed the top, the same problem was happening with the cleaner in it anyways

i changed the oil with 5 30 and put an oem filter on it a few days ago, little quieter but still same issue, yes if i put a big load on it it will go away (well sounds like it but obviously not gone). when i rev it , it gets louder. I'm done trying to fix the issue with little stuff thats not gonna work, I've spent as much in oil in the past few months trying things for probably half the cols of what the lifters will cost me just gonna call hyundai and have them order me some tomorrow so i can get it done

Yeah I don't blame you hah. Good thing for me that yours acts the same as mine cause now I know what it is for sure :p
Will you take some pics when you get the valve cover off? I want to see what i'm dealing with exactly, if it isn't too much :)
