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 7 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?
