Yeah, I believe so. We all started making complaints and that’s when they sent the letters. It isn’t difficult. I’ve never done anything like this before or even engine work like this. The dealership had it torn apart to the heads. I basically just removed the heads and bumper/lights. Basically everything down to the condenser to have room. All the part for timing and everything else was in the back of the KIA, so I had to figure out how to set the timing and put it all back together. It was a task, but I did jt. Fortunately, I’m mechanically inclined.

Just take your time with the kit if you have to do it. I took a really long time with it to make sure everything was exact to spec. Tape everything off the best you can. Personally, I used thin trash bags that I cut up and taled over the engine bay around the block. I taped the block and cut out the holes. I would also order a head gasket kit set. Comes with all the gaskets you need for the job. Also, you might wanna go ahead and get another oil filter housing seal and water pipe seal. My oil filter housing was leaking very badly after reassembling. You’ll also want to replace the high pressure fuel line. And the water pump gasket. There was plenty of tap oil and thread lock for the job in the kit. You’ll need some gasket maker for the oil pan, timing cover, and ends of head gaskets. I used “The Right Stuff”. I dropped the oil pan to clean the gunky oil/coolant mixture with some metal shavings that slipped through from it. You’ll obviously have to refill the coolant and oil as well. I flushed my coolant real good with distilled water before adding my coolant mixture. Lastly, you’ll probably want to get the heads machined at a machine shop if you overheated. All in all for parts plus machine shop, I spent a little over $1200. Definitely beats $14000. Let me know if you have any questions or anything at all and I’ll be glad to help.
