New headgasket switch over date for 2.0 and 2.4L engines

I am considering a Plymouth Breeze for my daughter to use for school.

I would like to ensure that it has the MLS headgasket installed. From what I have been able to pick up from this NG, the new MLS headgasket was phased in at the factory mid-way through the 1999 model year. Does anyone know for sure which month this occured? If a dealer installed the gasket on an earlier one, would it show up on the VIN record stored by Daimler-Chrysler?

Perhaps I should try to find a 2000, which was the last year, and should have the newer gasket.

I had this done on my 1998 by an independent shop, and it was a costly repair. While I had an aftermarket service plan, it would not cover shop supplies and some of the materials needed.

Thanks,

Kirk Matheson

Shop supplies are a pet peeve of mine.

The Breeze never came from the factory with a V6.
