Most likely sludge causing valve train issues

Short of removing the heads & going thru them
& all parts removed,don't know

I have watched some of that, a couple days ago
on You Tube

The rear main seal is between the engine and transmission. Head gaskets are what seals the block and head of the motor. If the smoke is sweet smelling I would assume it to be a misting coolant leak from a small hole in the radiator. Even though that car is front wheel drive it's mounted longitudinally. Hope this helps.

First, torque them all to 45 ft pounds(61 nm), second to 65 ft pounds (88nm) go over them a third time @65 ft pounds again. then 1/4 turn and you are done.

There is a fuse box on the drivers side of the car near the battery. Remove the cover by pushing down on the clip on the engine side of the box. The lid should have the locations of each Relay. They are all the same part, just in different locations.

I'm guessing this Intrepid is a 3.5 cause I have never had this problem with a 3.3 But what I found what always caused it in a 3.5 is bad intake gaskets allowing more air to flow into the engine. Change both upper and lower intake gaskets and this should fix the problem. However when changing the lower intake gaskets there are two bolts that are probably gonna give you problems. The one closest to the front and the one closest to the back. They are the bolts that hold the intake down and go into the head near the coolant ports. These bolts are probably going to break off. The good news is they most of the time break off and there is still a lot of bolt left once you get the intake off to get a vice grips on. Have a torch with a good heating tip handy and someone that really knows how to use it and heat the cyl head around the bolt and then try to get it out with the vice grips, but be very careful cause heating aluminium can be very tricky too much heat and you ruined the head.

That is possible but the computer system in the '97 is much different than the '94. So there will be allot (large list) of parts to change over from the old engine to the new one. A '96 engine would be more compatible than a '94 but still some differences.

get a manual and make sure that the they dont have to be new

Google 1997 Dodge 3.5 liter Engine Mounting Diagram. Same for the 2002 engine. I guarrantee you will find it.For some strange reason you would'nt call your local Dodge dealer and ask them where you can go to on the web and locate it.
