Always BLOWN UP? WHY? Hyundai / Kia 2.4 Theta II G4KE Engine Teardown

A BONUS TEARDOWN? Well, for Thanksgiving I figured I'd say thank you for all of the support, comments, and general automotive camaraderie with an extra teardown. Plus, I need more room on my shelves for more blown up engines.
Every week you can find a new teardown of some abused, misused and/or poorly designed engine. I've got over 150 videos of failed engine teardowns on this channel.
Today's subject is a 2.4L MPI Theta II 4 cylinder from a 2010 Hyundai Sonata with 140K miles. This was a core return from an engine a salvage yard I deal with sold. Its clear there are several user installed inspection ports with the added benefit of crankcase ventilation. I don't do a ton of Hyundai/Kia vehicles so most of my experience with these engine failures has to do with what my customers and cohorts say, plus what I've read. Every single bad Theta II engine was lower end trouble, and came with a similar story. Lets try to figure out why there's such a commonality amongst engine failure mode with these. This core was stripped fairly bare so this video isn't as long as they usually are.

Why do I do this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto salvage facility in the Saint Louis area. part of our model includes buying blown up and core engines, and dismantling them to sell the good parts. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those that do.
If you'd like to buy any of the parts out of this engine you can email us at Importapartsales@gmail.com and visit our website to peruse our full inventory at www.Importapart.com

I really hope you enjoyed this video. As always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.

Catch you on the next one!
-Eric
