Replying to: rkeeling (Mar 11, 2009 5:05 pm) I asked pals on other forums...their replies: 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.
#7 of 9 valve job on 2006 sportage by rickj3 Nov 24, 2009 (12:52 am)
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? Replies to this message: rkeeling (Nov 27, 2009 1:24 pm)

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.
