/6 head

... The Chrysler 2.2/2.5 and 2.0/2.4 had many head gasket leak issues with composite gaskets and that was regardless of sealing surface condition. In 1999/2000 chrysler came out with the MLS head gasket for the 2.0/2.4 and when installing them on an engine that came with a composite from the factory you don't have to machine either block or head just make sure they are flat and clean.

My 1996 2.4L started leaking at 39K miles, just after the 36K warranty. A strange head gasket leak - from an oil port to the outside, which was typical. At first I assumed it was the cam seal or valve cover. I lived with the oil leak until 95K miles when I put on the MLS gasket, plus a head & ring job to be safe though I found the rings and bore barely worn. At 195K miles now, no leaks and like-new compression.
