Engine - 2.4L: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Jeep Liberty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The 2.4 Liter (148 cu. in.) in-line four cylinder engine is a double over head camshaft with hydraulic lifters and four valve per cylinder design. The engine is free-wheeling; meaning it has provisions for piston-to-valve clearance. However valve-to-valve interference can occur, if camshafts are rotated independently.
The cylinders are numbered from front of the engine to the rear. The firing order is 1-3-4-2.
The engine identification number is located on the rear of the cylinder block. See Fig 1.
