Our database does not have any information on this vehicle so I don't know what engine you have. It could be one of Hyundai or Kia engines.

Do you have the engine code?
Is it hydraulic valve lifters?
Are you sure it is 1, 2 and 3? The right bank should be 2, 4 and 6 whereas the left bank should be 1, 3 and 5.
