WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT, 2016 Hyundai Elantra, 2015 Hyundai Elantra GT, and 2015 Hyundai Elantra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Install the timing chain cover.
1. Using a gasket scraper, remove all the old packing material from the gasket surfaces.
2. The sealant locations on the chain cover and the counter parts (cam carrier, cylinder head, cylinder block, and lower crankcase) must be free of harmful foreign materials, oil, dust and moisture. Spraying cleaner on the surface and wiping with a clean duster.
3. Before assembling the timing chain cover, liquid sealant should be applied on the gap between cam carrier, cylinder head and cylinder block.
  Bead Width: 3.0 ~ 5.0 mm (0.11 ~ 0.20 in.)
  
  Sealant: Threebond 1217H or equivalent

4. After applying liquid sealant on the timing chain cover, assemble the cover within 5 minutes after sealant was applied. Continuous bead of sealant should be applied to prevent any path from oil leakage.
  Bead Width
  
  Whole Area: 2.5 ~ 3.5 mm (0.10 ~ 0.14 in.)
  
  Area A: 4.5 ~ 5.5 mm (0.18 ~ 0.22 in.)
  
  Area B: 8.0 ~ 9.0 mm (0.32 ~ 0.35 in.)
  
  Sealant: Threebond 1217H or equivalent

Install the other parts reverse order of removal.
Add all the necessary fluids and check for leaks. Connect GDS. Check for codes, note, and clear. Re-Check.
NOTE:
- Refill Engine with Engine oil.
- Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble.
- Inspect for fuel leakage.
  - After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (DO NOT operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
  - Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
