Engine Replacement, The Full Story.

How in the world did oiled intake filters cause your issues?

The answer can be found in @byebyeSTI response, if you can translate it properly. His fingers think extra fast sometimes. It doesn't really effect our cars though.

Thanks for explanation. I am sorry, if my post got you upset. $3 washer fluid just looked silly to me.

apology accepted, I'm sorry for calling your titanium bolts useless. they do save weight, even the smallest amount does help.

Ohio has a strange vendetta against any tuned stingers. Perhaps a slightly ingrown gapped sessions that he may or may not have experienced from fellow Tuned stingers "shrugs"

That is just not true. I like tuned cars. And actually i would love to race against tuned one just to see the difference. For some reason i'm getting all kind of civics wanting to race me. After first couple of them, i stopped reacting

Come north then

Don't know if want it that much

Great back and forth gents. What's your opinion on catch cans?

Yes, My dealer even goes as far as to include them on every 3.3 Stinger they sell, explaining why they are needed and how to service them.

What the.... your dealer is just destroying my view about car dealers

I'd be wiling to drive my car across the country for an oil change there.

So now that all the streams are no longer crossing and are in alignment, question still remains how loss of heat results in motor replacement.....

The heating system is rather simple. Engine operation produces heat, heat transfers to coolant, coolant flows through radiator (heater core), air blown across fins is heated then expelled through ducts. That's the way it's been for the last 40+ years (probably longer).

If the engine wasn't reaching operating temp or taking too long, a possible cause may be an open stat. More importantly, I can't imagine any DTC codes NOT getting set for this condition.

My question to the OP, what mechanical symptoms did the car present? How was mpg? Codes?

My first car was a ‘64 and had heat. My parents had cars from the ‘50s at least and they used a similar heating system. So a lot longer than 40 years, probably 70 or 80.

^^Thanks... My car history goes back to the early 80's, but it's such a simple system that's worked and continues to work well. I doubt the stingers use a heat pump arrangement.

Maybe air/bubbles trapped in the coolant system? But surely an expert Kia service tech would be able to diagnose and repair something so simple...

Pretty sure it is still the coolant through a heater core system. I could see a heat pump system in an EV or hybrid, but wouldn’t make sense when you have waste heat available already.

Useful.

Appreciate the update on the saga!

On some cars yes, on GDI engines, they are basically required if you want to keep the car long term.

besides heat loss, nothing. the car was running perfectly. In reality it was more than just an engine replacement, it was quite literally everything under the hood except for the Turbos (which where perfect or they would have been replaced as well) and the TCU. they took as much as they could to try and recreate the issue. safe to say that something was 100% causing it, because the issue no longer happens.
