Disadvantages of the Hyundai G4KR engine

  • This power unit has appeared recently and there are no failure statistics for it yet;
  • The presence of combined injection here solves the problem of valve coking;
  • While the resource of timing chains is unknown, usually they are quickly pulled out at a turbo engine;
  • The engine turned out to be very hot and you will need to monitor the cooling system;
  • Variable displacement oil pump units do not add reliability.
