Hyundai: Elantra 93 Engine

The 1.6 and 1.8 are visually non-discernable. You'll need the vin. It
will be something like:

KMHJF##??PU######

The first ? represents the engine. M = 1.8 and R = 1.6

hyundaitech,

thanks for your reply.

The VIN is part of the problem... the number he sent me is
KMHJF31LPPU563595, which makes no sense... the 9th character is not a
number (if everything else is correct the check character should be a
4 not a P) and the character for the engine has an L (not an M or R).
So think there is a mistake somewhere, so I have him checking the VIN
again as we speak.

He also tells me that the engine block says 1500 on it and that he
thinks it is a 1.6L DOHC 16-valve engine, does that make sense?

Thanks again for your reply.

The VIN number is KMHJF31LPPU563595 indeed. This car was produced for
the Korean marked, that’s why the 9th digit is a P (not a number) and
the 8th digit is an L (so it does not match the R or M of the
northamerican cars). The side of the engine has G40L written on it (is
that the engine model?), and it is definetely a 1.6L DOHC 16-valve
engine.

So now here is my question, if anyone can answer it, would this engine
take the same parts as the nortamerican 1.6L engine (model number
G4CR)?

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

R C

We don't use "L" for engines in the U.S., so I don't know what to tell you.
It's probably an engine that's not available here.
