From what I’ve learned, the G4GC engines usually have solid lifters with shims, so it’s not uncommon to get a bit of that ticking sound as they get older. I did some research when I had mine and found that regular oil changes help keep things smoother, even if the noise doesn’t fully go away.
If you’re thinking about keeping the car long-term, it’s good to know there are reconditioned Hyundai Tucson engine options out there with a bit of a warranty.
