Description
Hyundai / Kia D3EA Cylinder Head Assembly – Valves & Camshafts Pre-Installed
This D3EA cylinder head assembly is a brand new, factory-fresh cylinder head built to OEM standards. It comes with the complete valvetrain pre-installed, including intake and exhaust valves, valve springs, camshaft, hydraulic lifters and all related internal components. You simply transfer your existing external parts – saving significant time and labour during installation.
The D3EA is a 1.5-litre 3-cylinder common-rail turbo diesel engine from the Hyundai/Kia D-family, widely used in compact cars from 2001 to 2005. It features a cast-iron block with an aluminum SOHC 12-valve cylinder head and a Garrett GT1544V turbocharger. This head is manufactured to exact original tolerances and pressure-tested for reliable, long-lasting performance. The cylinder head of this diesel engine is known to crack on high-mileage examples, making this a critical replacement part for engine rebuilds.
