I'm going to be switching to a Hyundai valve cover and wanted new fasteners, so I did some research and figured I would share it. The part numbers for the Elantra I got from evilgsx4202r on dsmtalk.
(Prices are from 1stHyundaiParts.com:: Original parts for your Hyundai as of 12/21/10)
So you have the option to either use bolts or studs. I will be using bolts. I also searched for aftermarket replacements for these bolts (called "shoulder bolts"), but could not find any with the right dimensions.
I am not sure why the valve cover gasksets are different, but it's unfortunate that the gasket meant for bolts costs twice as much as the one made for studs. If anyone knows the difference I would like to know. Hope this information helps someone!
