You make answering very difficult because you do not give specific information
the excel comes in ser X1 (1985-1989), X2(1990-1995), X3(1994-2000) depending on the year
the engine capacity is missing so 1.3 LT engines are single over head cam and 1.6LT engines are double head cam
to make matters worse
the 1.3LT ( engine family G4EH) is single over head cam
the 1.5 Lt ( G4EK is a SOHC
the 1.5LT ( G4FK) is a DOHC
and the 1.6LT( G4ED) is a DOHC
Now you can see the difficulty in giving you a definitive answer
Why don't you simply ring the shop and ask them to check for you

SOURCE: Correct way to align timing marks

hi -- the timing marks on a twin cam are tricky!! heres how- turn the motor over to tdc on the bottom pulley,this will align two marks on the lower cog-----now on the top cog,it has an obvious mark near the teeth-- well disregard this for now!! the cog has a hole in it,in one of the spokes,well this goes at 12 o,clock and lines up with a mark you will see on the housing! now if you are right you will see the mark near the teeth is at around 4,oclock---i just did one and it is right--cheers

SOURCE: hyundai excel twin cam manual clutch repair

If you don't have the service manual specifically for the vehicle and the proper tools to do the task, i'd suggest taking it to the shop instead. It wouldn't be worth all the trouble. But in case your in need of a service manual, may i suggest going to ebay and checking to see if someone is selling the manual on cd for 99 cents. It may sound like a scam or something because service manuals on cd at the dealer average $150-$200. But if one is offering the manual for 99 cents, buy it. It's actually like a copy of the one they sell at the dealership, so before you start on that difficult task, i advise in purchasing a service manual. If they don't have it on ebay, go to your local auto parts store and buy one for $25. The name would be either Haynes or Chilton. Good luck.

I have 1998 hyundai excel twin cam l have just put cams out of 1999 excel and it sound like it has a lumpy cam now at lidle.Now my car smells like unburnt fuel.can this be from cam not being in right at...

double check all youre timing marks . loosten tentioner and adjust cam.then tighten chain .manually turn motor over twice then check timing marks again this is a little tricky sometimes because when you tighten the tentioner the cam will move. you have to have the chain in a spot to compensate for this movement.

I cannot remove the CDplayer from my 1999 TWIN CAM HYUNDAI EXCEL

try pulling it out, it should come out far enough to get at the screws. they got it in there without removing all the other stuff, so it has to come out. you may need to purchase a removel tool at a local parts store, there are several differant kinds so ask someone at the store to look at it. they should be able to tell you which one you need. they only cost a couple dollars.

I just changed battery and then i found i couldn't use radio anymore. The window show "code" everytime i tried to turn on radio. My car is 1995 Hyundai excel.

You need to re-insert radio code . If your radio is factory provided you may ask code from local hyundai dealer.
Give radio model number to search if can be found also on web.
