Hello, I am rebuilding a 2000 Kia Sportage engine. I know,,,hooray. At any rate, I had taken the block in to be boiled and the head to be resurfaced, valve seals, etc. any way when I picked up my stuff when it was done, they had to remove a bolt or two to be cleaned properly and put them neatly in a plastic bag, but also there was a very small hard rubber bushing in with it. I have know idea where it goes and the machine shop dont know either..So is this machine shop taking me snipe hunting or does this little bushing actually goes some where, Its about a 1/4" wide and about the same as high. I do have a pic of it, but,,how to post

Replying to: rkeeling (Mar 11, 2009 5:05 pm) screams suspension. doubt its a bump stop then again i wouldnt know i never had them to begin with. i dont know of anything on the engine that would be like that. where did you find it and can u guess where abouts it fell off the kia? give size next to a machinist rule and differnet views. if it is small enough could it be a head valve oil seal ? My comment: take another photo with a ruler beside. |

My son and I changed the timing belt on my '06 sportage and apparently damaged one or more of the valves in the process. Engine now shudders when idling and check engine light is on. Also, engine smoke in engine compartment. Any suggestions?

| Hi! I have a '97 Kia Sportage. My problem is, the fuel consumption is very high. My friends suggested that I change the engine with a surplus diesel engine. Do you think it's a good idea? Changing engine is a common practice in my country, and I am not really sure if that will solve the problem. Has anybody done it before? Any suggestion how to optimize fuel consumption on my original KIA engine, besides those that we usually do like checking tire pressure, etc. Tnx. | |
