Unfortunately the 2.4 Chrysler engine is what's called a valve interference engine when the timing belt breaks it can cause damage to the valves because they interfere with the Piston movement there are two options, you can do a cylinder leak down test, or you can remove the head and have the valves checked. Then, you will follow a standard timing belt procedure. Thanks, Gordie
