Hello i'm new here and i need some help. I was wondering if anyone could tell me the valve clearance ona 99 Accent and the timing of the timing belt? I dont much like being a passenger so any help would be greatly appreciated

Also the engine is factory i was wondering if anyone had any tips on enhancing performance. Since i'm gonna be fiddling around in there might as well get some more juice out of it

 

mmmmm...bummer, sounds like your timing belt went. The easiest thing you could do is take out the factory air filter system and put in a simple cold air intake. It does make the difference in throttle response and you may see a slight gain in mpg's.
Good Luck,

As well as an intake run an exhaust as well. These are the entry level mods that add a little performance. Remeber your engine is like a lung as much air as it breathes in it must be able to exhail as well. If you want to dive right in a lighter crank, forged pistons, performance cams, and a good port and polish and valve angle job are right p your alley.
