Stay away from the mid-90s Quad 4... I've seen a couple blow headgaskets pretty easy.

Same with early Neons, but hey, do like Russell did and get a car with a blown head gasket, replace it yourself and save $$$.



the quad 4 is a junk motor. ive done a head job one one of them before, the timing chain jumped cause the tensioner was bad and a guide was broken, and it bent the valves. id never ever buy one

on the other hand, my stratus had a siezed motor not a blown head gasket it has the 2.4L, and i replaced the rear main seal and timing belt before i put it in, cause ive done a head job on one of them cause the belt broke and bent valves
