Hyundai / Kia G4LA Cylinder Head Assembly – Valves & Camshafts Pre-Installed

This G4LA 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 G4LA is a 1.2-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine from the Hyundai/Kia Kappa engine family, produced from 2008 onwards. It features a lightweight aluminium cylinder block and head, DOHC 16-valve valvetrain with Dual CVVT (continuously variable valve timing on both intake and exhaust camshafts), a maintenance-free timing chain, and hydraulic lifters. The engine delivers 78–87 hp and 118–121 Nm of torque, providing excellent fuel efficiency for compact city cars. This cylinder head is manufactured to exact original tolerances and pressure-tested for reliable, long-lasting performance.
