Theta II 2.4 GDI head castings — know which engine your replacement came from
The Hyundai Theta II 2.4 GDI engine (G4KJ) fitted to Sonata YF (2011–2014), Santa Fe DM and Tucson TL is the subject of a global recall — though the failure mode is bottom-end (rod-bearing knock), heads from affected engines are often resold without disclosure. Whoever you buy from, ask whether the head came from an MPI (G4KE) or GDI (G4KJ — recall-affected) donor, and have it pressure-tested for cracks before fitting. or call 078 574 3998.

Bare used castings and reconditioned heads with new valves & seats available.
Ask Before You Buy

Hyundai Cylinder Heads in Lenasia & Across South Africa
Cylinder-head replacement is a craft job — the casting has to be pressure-tested for cracks, decked back true on a milling machine, fitted with new valve stem seals, and torqued to the right stretch on new head bolts. From 666 Cromwell Street in Lenasia South we can quote on bare castings for fitters who do their own machine work, and on reconditioned heads for workshops that want a drop-in unit. A bare Hyundai Getz spares head saves you significant cost over a complete engine swap, especially on a higher-mileage H1 OEM parts where the bottom-end is still healthy.
When a head won't cut it
Sometimes the right call is not a head but a complete short-block alternative — particularly on the Theta II 2.4 GDI where the recall mode is bottom-end bearing failure, or on a high-mileage D4CB CRDi where the cylinder walls have glazed. If the cambelt snap also damaged the bell-housing or the flywheel ring gear, ask us to quote our gearbox options at the same time so you do one job, not two. And for any CRDi diesel head replacement, fixing the root cause matters — a collapsed turbo will burn the new head’s exhaust valves within months, so quote a matched turbo for the rebuild in the same order.
