Overview
The Hyundai Gamma engine was introduced in 2006 to replace the existing Hyundai Alpha engine. There are 1. 4 L and 1. 6 L versions of this engine.
Being a development from the Alpha II engine, significant changes include the aluminum construction of the block and cylinder head, resulting in a 15 kg weight reduction to just under 100 kg, and the use of a timing chain instead of belt. It is also the first offset crankshaft engine developed by Hyundai.
Production takes place in Shandong, , Žilina , Hwaseong and Irungattukottai....
