In this video I'll go over why the Theta II engines that include the famous 2.4L and the 2.0L fail. These engines are in the Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Genesis and the Hyundai Tucson but also in Kia Optima, Kia Forte and the Kia Sportage. I'll cover how they fail causing rod knock, seized engines, damaged cylinder walls, spun bearings, seized bearings, damaged timing chain, stretched timing chain, damaged piston rings, I'll also go over how you can diagnose and narrow down where the failure has taken place as well.
