I think you're probably wasting your time on this engine. Hyundai had a
1.5 DOHC for a couple of years that had no noticeable power improvement
over the 12v SOHC.

Question for the group re problem with a 1998 Accent. Since fitting 175/65
X14 Michelin Tyres I have a problem whereby I get a noise like squealing
tyres when turning to the right normally even at low speed and is more
prominent when the roadway is hot - app 100 degrees F, (it is summer where I
live). Suspected the tyres until it did the same thing on gravel?? Tyres do
not touch anywhere, wheel bearings have no detectable play. any theories

Thanks and sorry for busting in on your conversation.

Are you sure they don't touch anything when cornering? It's possible they
won't touch anything when sitting still and still make contact when
additional forces are put on the suspension.

I have looked all over for marks where something might be touching and
nothing seems to be amiss. Mud flaps where my first guess but even they
don't come closer than 1/2 inch to the tyres and are also mark free. If it
was causing this sound at fair speeds I could understand the problem but it
is happenning at speeds even lower than10 MPH.>

I'd try replacing the power steering belt.

Good idea - but before replacing the belt, I'd check the
belt tension.

Well - its gotta belt somewhere!! Check that it (the belt)
ain't squeeling. And check that the belt tensioner (or belt idler)
hasn't gone 'belly up'.
Loose belts squeel.

S25 I know that loose belts squeal but all belts are tight and the
alternator belt would not squeal when negotiating right hand turns. Anyway,
a great new year to all you Hyundai owners out there. Except for this minor
problem I have not had any glitches on the Accent in 100 000 miles and 7
years running at summer temperatures of 100-125 degrees and winters at
70-90. Tyre wear average 40000 miles since the 175/65X14's were fitted and
the exhaust is still as from the factory.
