  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

1G Genesis Sedan (2009-2014)
I have a 2009 Hyundai Genesis 4.6l. About a year ago it skipped timing at about 70k and ripped up the driver side part of my engine. During the pandemic I finally found the time to rip it apart and fix it. The engine is pulled, I have 2 new pistons and 2 new rods. The head is fixed and ready to go as well as the rest of the necessary parts. Unfortunately the pistons I ordered from hyundaioempartsdirect.com did not come. Instead they sent me "upgraded" pistons with a larger wrist pin that no longer fits the original rods. When I ordered 2 new rods they sent me the original rods fit to the smaller wrist pin. When I called, they told me the rod is on back order and the pistons are discontinued so there is absolutely nothing they can do for me at this point in time. Also told me they would send me a return label via email which I never got. Does anybody know where I can find either 2 of the oem version pistons or 2 of the newer sized rods, or any other suggestions. Thanks.
