Hi all, we just picked up an 04 Santa Fe, 3.5L GLS. We got this as a builder project and for my wives next DD. I may be new here but not a newbie. we got the 'San-T" cheap because it needs an engine. Someone started to work on it but didn't know what they were doing. They pulled the heads and stopped but I don't know why they pulled the heads or what started the problem. The car/truck/suv, sat with the engine apart for over a year so whatever was wrong doesn't matter now. I'm looking for a used engine now but this will be quit the puzzle to put back together. :o The trans was replaced by the dealer at 64,000 miles but again don't know what the problem was. The good news is that there is only 72,000 miles on the trans. :) 138,000 miles on the rest of the car. Looking for tips from the the other mechanics here, sbr711, on what to expect in putting this thing back together.
