2012-2019 Kia Rio 1.6L…
I purchased the 2012-2019 Kia Rio 1.6L G4FD Gamma 4-Cylinder Engine Motor - it should be referred to as it really is: a "long block" - minus intake/fuel/exhaust... First - I was very impressed that the engine was in a crate and wrapped in heavy plastic inside there. The machine work was beautiful! Very well done, and all the bolt holes were drilled and tapped and ready for assembling and torquing. I had a few minor issues - mostly due to the old engine's worn out catalytic convertor; but the engine is very quiet - even for a GDI ! It has 5,000 miles on now it and all is well! Definitely would recommend Power Engines!

We take pride in our machine work and preparation, so it's great to know the long block was ready to go and looking sharp out of the crate. We appreciate your patience working through those minor issues, and it's awesome to hear the engine is running quietly and smoothly 5,000 miles in — especially on a GDI!
