Question:

Can’t find heater port on top side engine, do you need to take the engine belly pan to locate and install?

We have not yet have the chance to install the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater part # KH11812 on a 2014 Hyundai Tucson with the 2.4L I4 engine so I don't have any exact steps or photos for you unfortunately. The only advice I have is where the manufacturer states the port will be located which is in the front of the engine on the driver side. I have attached a photo of this for you. The position is indicated as "FL".

It would be a good idea to remove the belly pan if you will be accessing the block heater port from beneath the engine. Also, there are two different versions of the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater part # KH11812. The new version was designed to accommodate the Hyundai 2.4L I4 engine. This version has a notch cut of out of the body and will be needed on your 2014 Hyundai Tucson for clearance. I have attached a photo of the notch for you as well.
