A Reliable Hyundai & Kia Engine? Lambda 2 V6 Teardown

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Here's a look inside the Kia and Hyundai Lambda II V6 engine and how it works!
The Lambda II series of engines are used in both FWD and RWD applications, from the Kia Sedona and Hyundai Santa Fe to the Hyundai Genesis and currently the Hyundai Pallisade and Kia Telluride. They range from 3.3 to 3.8L, have an all aluminum construction, dual variable valve timing powered by timing chains, an external water pump. Earlier versions were port injected, while newer models are direct injected.
Common issues include overheating due to headgasket failures and oil burning. These engines were not as unreliable and catastrophic as their 4 cylinder cousins, the Theta 2 engines, of which a teardown can be found here:
• Why Hyundai Engines FAIL
The engine in this video is from a 2012 Kia Sedona with 190,000km on it and suffered a head-gasket failure causing the oil and coolant to mix. Overall the engine has a very simplistic design reminiscent of Toyota V6's.

    Hey Speedcar, rebuild that engine. Make a series other than your teardown videos. Show us how you would clean the engine, check tolerances and do a modular rebuild. That would be enjoyable to watch. Everyone else is rebuilding old tractor engines and it's getting boring, we want to see a newer engine rebuild. Have a buddy build an engine run stand, hook up a harness, and run it, that would be really cool. Great videos, I've learned a lot, thanks.

    The Lambda engines are one of the best engines from Hyundai/Kia. Very reliable and no horrendous recalls or engines failures unlike Nu or Theta. They have a reliable and simpler design. They also have better build quality as all the Lambda engines are built in Korea. (Nu and Theta sold in US and Canada are built in the US). These engines were found in the Veracruz, Genesis, Genesis Coupe, Azera, Entourage, Sedona, Armanti. These engines can go up to 200k without any trouble. Overall great teardown. This engine could have lasted a lot longer.

Makes me think more frequent coolant flushes and more frequent oil changes as the car gets over 100k miles would be a good idea. Also did you use your wifes shirt to wipe up oil at one point?

    I have a 2008 Sorento on 2” spacers with the 3.3l Lambda 1. It fkn rips. Sounds way sportier than it’s probably supposed to. I tried the FRAM XG9999 or whatever full synthetic filter and it caused the oil to drain back into the pan so only use OEM i guess if you’re reading this. It sounded even sportier and picked up better after I got a new oil filter :/ I love this rig. It’ll go where some jeeps have had a hard time going, but I did have to replace a steering rack, both front steering knuckles, tie rods, ball joints etc

    This engine appears to be very well designed. What irks me is the lack of preventative maintenance on this engine and this can be seen by the heavy staining left by the oil. The excessive use of sealant is a worry and the use of a wrong head gasket speaks volumes why this engine failed. All the bearings were good and the oil ring was also unblocked. So why did the engine overheat.....poor ongoing maintenance by the owner.

    8:54 "They're known to overheat & they burn oil" Not so sure about that. Well engines don't just "overheat" As long as you keep an eye on the coolant all will be fine. One thing for sure, they use some rubber which I believe has to be bio-degradable on the upper radiator hose. at 70k miles/5 years, my upper radiator hose got a slash on it. Parts for this engine are not readily available and needed to be ordered, so I cut the hose in two pieces and connected it with a fitting. When the hose arrived I did not changed it over because well, it was working fine. Guess what, less than a month down the line, another slash appears. The rubber was just basically expired. Anyways, with a new aftermarket hose its already been years no problems. Zero oil consumption on my end at 129k miles, and I change my oil every 3k because I do a lot of high-speed highway cruising 130/140 most of the time and this engines don't come with an oil cooler so the oil gets degraded pretty quick, and its a GDI too.

    As a Kia master I see the back bank head bolts pull out and strip the threads on the block, this causes the head gaskets to go. Normaly the back bank goes. This is just the 3.3 v6 on the newer v6 3.8 I have yet to see this failure. If you have a 2016-2018 sorento with the 3.3 there is a TSB that will replace long or short black depending on how bad the failure is for the bolts stripping out. Extended warranty is 10 years 180,000 miles.

    Not really true, the similarities are basically none. This only applies for the"G6CU" engine which was essentially a 6g74 flipped around. Everything was identical except on the mitsubishi motor they put the bell housing on the left/ timing components on the right, whereas hyndai took the same engine literally and put the bell housing & timing components on the other side. Everything is just different, the bore and stroke, the all aluminum construction, the timing chain instead of timing belt system, the variable valve timing, the cam bucket design, pretty certain the crankshaft and rods are cast instead of forged as they were on the 6g7 series, open deck design vs closed deck on the 6g7 series. What else can be said, literally a completely different engine.

    Maybe it was because we had the early 2014 sorento, but it had gone through 2 lambda 2's and we sold it after getting the 3rd motor.. all were replaced under warranty because they all developed knock. The first engine made it till around 100k and the second -shit you not, didnt even last until the end of its breakin period... When we got the third engine we already wanted to sell the car but i noticed that it was also experiencing the same "knock"/ tick at startup that the other engines did.. apparently this is just the way the VTC system works on these POS engines and oil needs to flow before it goes away.. but like i said, every single engine i had developed knock from normal driving (and not just at startup)

    There's a recall for the 2024's Lambda II V6 engine replacing the engine sub-assembly. NHTSA Recall No.: 24V-077 & Manufacturer Recall No.: SC296 “2024MY Telluride Engine Valve Spring Chronology.” Certain 2024 model year Telluride vehicles manufactured from October 1, 2023 through December 6, 2023. The engine valve springs may break while driving due to fatigue cracking as a result of damage to the springs during manufacture by the supplier. A broken valve spring may result in a loss of motive power. In rare cases, a hole in the engine block may occur due to a broken valve entering the combustion chamber. All owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail with instructions to bring their vehicles to a Kia dealer. Kia dealers will replace the engine sub-assembly. Kia will reimburse owners for repair expenses already incurred pursuant to Kia’s General Reimbursement Plan filed May 10, 2022

    Modern engines are technological marvels, but are they "better?" Define better. They make more power, with less fuel, achieving better efficiency. But is that better? The engines are much more complex, much more prone to failure, and more expensive to produce and more difficult to repair. In other words, there's more to it than just efficiency for efficiency's sake. I love engines and playing with tech ideas on paper. That doesn't mean all these ideas are good ones.
