The 3.8 liter engine available in the Kia Sorento from '07 to '09 was a Hyundai built unit, also called the Lambda. All aluminum, timing chain, DOHC, and impressive 262hp output. Hydraulic tensioners on the timing chain and oil leaks at multiple gaskets are issues.
The 2000 Kia Rio typically comes with a 1.5-liter I4 engine. For interchangeability, you might consider the 1.5-liter engines from other Kia models from that era, such as the Kia Sephia or even some Hyundai models like the Accent, as they share similar engine designs. However, it's crucial to verify compatibility in terms of mounting points, wiring harnesses, and other specifications before proceeding with an engine swap. Always consult a professional mechanic or a reliable source for specific compatibility details.
The Kia 1.8 liter engine is a Mazda engine used in the Protege' from the mid-90s. That and the 2.0 liter engine used in 1994-2002 Sportages were used from Mazda and if the timing belt breaks, it will NOT damage the valves, thus a non-interference engine.
