how long will new mls headgasket last?
I just had the head gasket replaced in my 1998 dodge caravan 2.4l 4cyl
with 52k miles. It had been leaking oil from the original non mls gasket for about a year and recently started getting worse. How long can I expect this new mls gasket to last? Will it eventually leak too? |

I have installed so many of these gaskets to replace the paper ones and have not had one come back with a leak yet Glenn Beasley Chrysler Tech |

If the MLS is installed correctly it shouldn't need replacment. I have a 2000 Cirrus with a 2.4, that came with the MLS. Doing fine at 50,000 miles. The one in my 1998 Stratus had to be replaced at 53,000 miles. -KM |
