Check with multiple dealers and see if you’re eligible for the class action warranty extension on those cars. Hyundai was sued over that engine and extended the warranty out on it and replaces tons of them for free. People actually seek those out for sale with blown engines and haul them directly to the dealer to get them replaced for free after they buy it.
It’s not really something that’s advertised much on those.

Not for the Theta II engine that those had. There’s a class action lawsuit involving those engines and Hyundai extended the warranty regardless of if it’s the original owner or not. It’s likely you can find a dealer to replace it for free under that program. I wouldn’t give up if the first dealer you call says it’s out of warranty because they don’t really want to do it, but come with citations and force one to follow the lawsuit agreement.
