2008 Kia Optima LX 2.4L Chain Tensioner
Posted to Asian Engine on 5/12/2017 7 Replies

Bought this Kia with a code for VVT solenoid and running poorly. After inspecting, I changed the oil and added 1/2 quart mystery oil. After running and a hot soak, engine sounded like lifters were not getting oil.

I changed the oil and filter with no change....
