Detailed Description

The DJ Rock EV122 exhaust valve is designed to control the release of burnt gases from the combustion chamber into the exhaust system, helping maintain proper engine breathing and combustion efficiency. Built with heat-resistant materials and a black nitride coating, this valve is made to handle the high temperatures and mechanical stress found in exhaust-valve operation. It is a direct-fit replacement for 1996-1997 and 2001-2011 Hyundai Accent, plus 2006-2011 Kia Rio and Rio5 applications. This part number, EV122, is a practical choice when replacing a worn exhaust valve in Hyundai Accent or Kia Rio engines that use the listed dimensions and groove configuration.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a burned or worn exhaust valve
• Restoring exhaust sealing and cylinder compression
• Addressing rough running caused by valve wear
• Correcting loss of engine efficiency from poor valve control
• Repairing valvetrain damage in select Hyundai Accent and Kia Rio engines

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify valve head diameter, stem diameter, overall length, and lock groove count before installation. Match the valve to the cylinder head and engine specification for the listed Hyundai Accent, Kia Rio, and Rio5 applications. Professional cylinder head service practices, including inspection of guides and seats, should be followed during installation. Part number EV122 should be confirmed against the original valve dimensions before assembly.
