Chrysler Sebring PT Cruiser Dodge Stratus Neon 2.4L L4 Remanufactured Engine 2004-2005

Restore vehicle power output with this precision machined Chrysler Dodge 2.4L EDZ Remanufactured Engine. Production machine shops align-hone block casting 4781632AA to eliminate journal taper across the entire crankcase envelope. This 2.4L 4-Cylinder 16-Valve DOHC powerplant requires strict manual pre-lubrication of cylinder head 4667086ag-d cam lobes before initial ignition fire to prevent premature valvetrain wear.

Cast iron block casting 4781632AA houses a micro-polished cast nodular iron crankshaft casting 4781590AA with 0.0003in journal roundness. Die-cast aluminum cylinder head casting 4667086ag-d contains sixteen intake and exhaust valves operated by dual overhead camshafts. High-silicon aluminum pistons slide inside plateau-honed parent bores fitted with low-tension moly rings. This long block package yields a net dry engine weight of 250 lbs, crated envelope dimensions of 36in length by 36in width by 36in height, plus a 4.5 quarts oil capacity.

Key Features of Chrysler Dodge EDZ

Professional repair shops buy Chrysler Dodge 2.4L remanufactured engine assemblies to eliminate diagnostic oil consumption issues. Technicians install this remanufactured 2.4L long block replacement to restore factory compression specifications.

- Block casting 4781632AA receives precision CNC deck resurfacing to provide a 30 Ra finish for multi-layer steel head gasket sealing.
- Crankshaft casting 4781590AA features micro-polished journal fillets to reduce rotating friction under heavy acceleration loads.
- Cylinder head casting 4667086ag-d undergoes three-angle valve seat cutting to maintain 0.001in valve seat runout.
- New tri-metal connecting rod bearings maintain 0.0012in oil clearance to protect crankshaft journals from hydrodynamic film collapse.
- Diamond plateau cylinder honing creates a 45-degree crosshatch pattern that seats moly piston rings within 500 miles.
- Dual overhead camshaft lobes receive profile measurement inspections to deliver stock valve lift curves across all sixteen valves.
- Heavy-duty steel oil gallery plugs replace stock pressed balls to prevent high-pressure oil leaks inside the engine block.

Dyno Load Precision Machining Tolerances

Bench testing confirms 150 HP at 5,200 RPM and 165 ft-lbs shaft torque at 4,000 RPM on our computer-controlled dynamometer. Production technicians verify crankshaft journal runout within 0.0003in TIR alongside rod bearing oil clearance between 0.0011in and 0.0014in. CNC cylinder bore honing controls piston-to-wall clearance at 0.0012in to prevent cold piston slap. Hot engine oil pressure stabilizes at 55 PSI at 3,000 RPM under a regulated 195°F coolant operating temperature. Individual cylinder compression gauges verify balanced readings between 180 PSI and 185 PSI across all four combustion chambers.

Vehicle Fitment Drivetrain Guide

This remanufactured engine fits 2004 to 2005 Chrysler Sebring, 2004 to 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser, 2004 to 2005 Dodge Stratus, and 2004 to 2005 Dodge Neon models equipped with the 2.4L 2429cc L4 Engine VIN Code J. It connects to 4-Speed Automatic and 5-Speed Manual front-wheel-drive transaxles. This long block does not fit earlier 1995 to 2002 2.4L architectures, turbocharged SRT-4 or PT Cruiser GT applications, nor modern 2.4L World Gas Engine platforms.

Installation Protocol Service Requirements

Inspect throttle linkages and engine mount bushings prior to bolting the long block onto the chassis subframe. Never install this naturally aspirated street motor into custom turbo conversions exceeding 6 PSI or non-vented track cars without external oil coolers. Technicians must clear all debris from intake manifolds before first ignition.

- Pre-fill the oil filter and prime the lubrication circuit until mechanical pressure registers on the dashboard gauge.
- Drain the initial break-in oil and change the spin-on filter at 500 miles to flush out assembly residue.
- Inspect the rubber accessory drive belt and adjust manual valvetrain lash after the first 3,000 miles.
