Knocking is generally bad news - the engine is likely destroyed because you didn’t attend to it until it was too late. OUCH :-(. The coolant dilutes the oil, which ruins the block, piston rings and often the pistons.
The head gasket fix may work, but it will not cure the knocking if it’s an issue inside the engine - get the engine inspected before you do any repairs and find it’s destroyed. Any damage present is likely catastrophic.[br]

If the engine was ruined, you will need to rebuild it - which will likely be about as much as a newer version of the Elantra from ~2015 or so to do it properly. Don’t spend that kind of money on it if you can get a newer car for about as much as the rebuild.

If you’re trying to keep repair costs low, put a used engine in with similar or lower mileage if you want to save the money for a downpayment if it’s beyond repair - Hyundais are like Toyotas where parts are everywhere, so even if the worst case is you need to buy a salvage/private sale parts car (and strip the parts to make your money back), you can still find cheap parts. The other option is a similar/newer one you pay cash for if you’d rather move on from this.

If you’re trying to keep repair costs low, put a used engine in with similar or lower mileage if you want to save the money for a downpayment if it’s beyond repair, '''but keep in mind Hyundai cars are known to start falling apart at 100k miles in your decision. However, the parts are cheap enough if you can get a engine for 25% of what it’s worth, it may be worth considering.''' Finding an engine won’t be hard, since you can find these in junkyards all day, and parts cars tend to be cheap.

The head gasket fix may work, but it will not cure the knocking if it’s an issue inside the engine - get the engine inspected before you do any repairs and find it’s destroyed. The other option is toput a used engine with less or similar mileage in and not repair the old one, if the repair cost is about as much for damage that is likely catastrophic.[br]

The head gasket fix may work, but it will not cure the knocking if it’s an issue inside the engine - get the engine inspected before you worry about the head gasket so you don’t burn your money and find it’s destroyed.
