Any help really appreciated:
I am going to put a 2009 Kia Magentis Engine block including cylinder head into a 2008 Kia Rondo manufactured 12/2007. I am using Rondo's engine wiring (harness), exhaust and intake manifolds. I will change only engine block with its cylinder head. the problem is that I found 4 camshaft sensors on the Magentis' engine. but the Rondo's has only 2 camshaft sensors. Sensor connection are identical. Does any boy know I can change this engine? Any help would be appreciated. (403) 807-7392

you may have to change the heads, assuming the cam sensors are in the head.

there may be no other choice. they have to be there
