That is totally incorrect.
Where did you get the wrong info?

Please refer to the factory Chrysler service manuals for detailed information.

There is no domestic PT Cruiser engine built that will allow the pistons to hit the valves.

However, the valves can hit each other if the 2 cams are turned incorrectly.

This is in every factory PT service manual for 7 years. It's also corect in Alldata and Mitchell Information systems used by professional repair shops.
