I have a 1995 Neon with about 325000 KM engine rebuilt in 2000 (150000km) and Timing belt broke in NOV making the pistons hitting the valves so I got a used head.
It wont pass the Drive Clean test in Ontario

Thanks Chris
from my experience you probably need a new catalytic converter. also did you do an oil change before the test. also consider a new pvc valve.
PS don't buy a cat from Chrysler just goto a generic store and pick up a generic high flow I used one that had a flow rating for a 360 cubic inch engine. cost like 120 cad.
also reset the computer by disconnecting the power on the car for a few minutes. then drive nicely while seasoning the cat then 500 kms later take it to a retest.
