For the best compatibility, just make sure it was not a EGR equipped 2.4. The 2.4 w/EGR uses a different knock sensor (1 wire) compared to your non-EGR 2.4 (2-wire)

You could probably use a thread insert to adapt it to your smaller threads if you wanted. As far as I know, that's the only difference compatibility wise over the years.

All the 2.4s have balance shafts.
