Description
Hyundai / Kia G4KE 2.4L Cylinder Head Assembly – Valves & Camshafts Pre-Installed
This G4KE 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, camshafts, hydraulic lifters and all related internal components. You simply transfer your existing external parts – saving significant time and labour during installation.
The G4KE is a 2.4-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine from the Hyundai/Kia Theta II family, produced from 2008 to 2019. It features a lightweight aluminium cylinder block with cast-iron sleeves, an aluminium 16-valve DOHC cylinder head without hydraulic lifters, and a maintenance-free timing chain. The engine uses dual CVVT (continuously variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts) and multi-point fuel injection (MPI) to deliver 170–180 hp and 220–230 Nm of torque[reference:0][reference:1]. Since 2012, G4KE engines have also been equipped with piston cooling oil nozzles for improved durability[reference:2]. This cylinder head is manufactured to exact original tolerances and pressure-tested for reliable, long-lasting performance.
