How Fraser Remanufactures Every 2.4L Engine

Fraser 2.4L engines are not used pull-outs or quick rebuilds. Every engine is torn down to the bare block and rebuilt by ASE-certified technicians and master machinists.

1. Complete teardown and cleaning. The engine is fully disassembled and every part is cleaned and inspected.
2. Precision re-machining. The block, crank and cylinder head are machined back to exact specifications.
3. New wear components. New pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets, seals and timing components go into every engine.
4. OEM TSB updates applied. Known factory weak points are corrected using the manufacturer's technical service bulletins.
5. Multi-point testing. Pressure, compression and leak-down tests confirm the engine is sealed and healthy.
6. SIM dyno testing. Horsepower and torque are verified before the engine ships.

2.4L Chrysler Engine FAQ

Which vehicles use the 2.4L Chrysler engine?

The 2.4L Tigershark is in the Cherokee, Renegade, 2017-and-newer Compass, Dart, 2015–2017 Chrysler 200, Fiat 500X and ProMaster City. The 2.4L World Engine is in the Journey, 2007–2017 Compass and Patriot, Avenger, Caliber R/T, Sebring and 2011–2014 Chrysler 200. The older 2.4L DOHC is in the PT Cruiser, Caravan, Sebring, Stratus, Wrangler TJ and Liberty. Always confirm by VIN.

What is the 2.4L Tigershark oil consumption problem?

Many Tigershark engines burn excessive oil due to piston ring problems. Low oil drops oil pressure, which can damage the engine or make it shut off while driving. A remanufactured long block with new rings fixes the root cause.

How do I know which 2.4L engine my vehicle has?

2013-and-newer Dart, 200, Cherokee, Renegade, 2017-and-newer Compass and ProMaster City use the Tigershark. Journey, 2007–2017 Compass and Patriot, Avenger and 2011–2014 200 use the World Engine. PT Cruiser, Caravan, Wrangler TJ and early Sebring and Stratus use the 2.4L DOHC. Your VIN confirms it.

How much does a remanufactured 2.4L Chrysler engine cost?

Price depends on which 2.4L your vehicle uses. Get a VIN-matched price through our Fast Quote form or at 800-731-3177 (press 1). Most Fraser engines have no upfront core charge and ship free to commercial addresses.

What warranty comes with a Fraser 2.4L engine?

Up to a 5-year / unlimited-mile parts and labor warranty on select products, honored nationwide, with optional No-Fault protection.

Does the 2.4L Chrysler engine have a timing belt or chain?

The 2.4L World Engine uses a timing chain. The Tigershark and the older 2.4L DOHC use a timing belt, and both are interference engines.

Is a remanufactured engine better than a used 2.4L engine?

Yes, especially for the Tigershark. A used engine may already have worn rings and an oil burning problem you can't see until it's installed. A remanufactured engine has all-new rings, is tested, and starts at zero miles with a long warranty.

How fast can I get a 2.4L engine?

In-stock engines ordered before 3 PM EST typically arrive in 2–3 days.

Do I have to send back my old 2.4L engine?
