you didn't get my memo about avoiding Dodge Neons at all costs??? Sorry!
They are junk, and have been plagued with problems. Most notably was a head gasket failure that would allow oil to leak out between the head and block. This was supposedly fixed by '97. Other problems include a very tough to remove balancer, cheap cams & gear, which frequently shear off the key, bending the valves, and timing belt failures. The Majority of them need a new head by the time they hit 60k miles due to weak castings. They are just plain cheap engines. The fact that you got a fairly trouble free 45k miles out of the second engine is actually pretty good. Sorry. Next time read my memo! Take care, -Chris
