I'd say timing belt/chain due to the fact that it spins fast.
I still think this whole car and its "adventures" is a fable, but I'll take the bait.


In fairness I've seen the chrome peel off the intake and get into the engine and ruin the valves and such on the 2.4 sounds crazy but I've seen it.


In a previous thread (iirc) the OP overheated the car so bad the oil cap melted and the paint on the hood peeled off. Miraculously, the car ran fine the next day and he used it to tow his Civics that didn't run across the midwest.


I missed that one but I'd love a car that durable

That's just the way I like it -- lightly toasted. Put an ice cream scoop of real whipped butter on there and mmmmmmmmmm.

Its a Neon based engine..the K car and L body crowds like to use them as power upgrades for their cars,no way for me.The old 2.2 cant be beat,and is the closest thing to the slant 6.I suggest you buy an old Spirit/Acclaim with 2.5/3spd and it will outlive you.

The 2.0 and 2.4 engine blow headgaskets if you look at them wrong.

I never said it melted the paint off the hood. Quit putting words in my mouth.
