Hope they aren't the same motor as the Intrepids had in them.

You should see how they cast the rod journals in one peice and then stap the end off to put bearings in them.
Then they use the rough snapped off cap and rod surfaces as a guide for reassembly.

Point is they had narrow rod bearings as well as timing chain issue's.

The 3.5 is an awesome motor. Worked for Chrysler back when these first came out in 1993. We had no real issues, except cam sensor leaks. The rods are meant to be a one use piece, and all of the neon 2.0 liters were the same. Also, these engines are belt, not chain. As long as regular timing belt maintenance is done, they go forever.
