I have Factory Service Manuals and they state that the FE3 engine in the Sportage, both the SOHC and DOHC, are non-interference engines. This subject has been discussed many times on this forum.


Those of you who wish to take the risk & rely on manuals go right ahead! I don't claim to be 100% certain on this, just passing on the info given to me by a Corporate Kia Rep and Master Tech! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
