    AC Compressor won’t turn on

    Hey all, Thought I would turn to the experts on some major trouble I’ve run into while recharging my A/C! I am finally recharging my AC after doing cam/lifters over the winter. Everything was going well until I was attempting to add the Freon when I could not get the compressor to turn on. I...

    Issues after cam swap

    Morning gentlemen.. A little update on the ram. I took out the cam to find some slight damage to.. you guessed it.. the lobe with the damaged lifter. Speaking of damaged lifter! The failed lifter had a complete flat spot in it. I took the cam to a local machine show where he put it on his cam...

    Issues after cam swap

    It was recommended by someone earlier in the thread to lap the valves. I have since changed my mind as I checked for leaks and there are none.

    Update on the tear down. Heads are out, and you can bet.. one of the #3 lifter rollers is flatter than a pancake.. I also got a quote from Benny for $800 for lifters. Yes.. I am going to cheap out again and say that is more than I am going to spend. I found some from MMX for a little cheaper...

    Looking for OEM lifters for 09 HEMI

    Evening to who it may concern... Looking for OEM lifters for my 09 HEMI which I am in the process of doing cam and lifters. Got an insane quote of 1400 and 1600 from my local dealership. I am on a budget but don't want to install junk or chinesium, 1600 just seems absurd. Thanks in advance for...

    Issues after cam swap

    I got the MDS cam, so I assume I will need MDS lifters. Can someone point me in a direction to get lifters? Maybe from my local dealership, or will they hose me?

    Issues after cam swap

    Thanks guys for all your expertise. I don't think this project would be happening without your help. A few more questions I have: -What and where do you recommend for lifters? I got a quote from Oriley's for like $1400 but that seems kind of ridiculous.. I certainly don't want chinesium but...

    Already started the second teardown. I'll take the cam back out and inspect and consider bringing it to a mechanic. I will update as I go along. Big thank you to everyone for the advice.

    Issues after cam swap

    What do you mean how did I not look at the camshaft ? I followed the quote “cam bible” word for word (without the taking off the heads part obviously).

    Issues after cam swap

    You are 100% correct .. I am basing my knowledge off of what I see online. I see many guys say that have been fine just replacing the cam on high mileage trucks. But now I’m obviously hearing different. Was just hoping to now get into the nightmare that comes with taking off the heads/doing...

    Is there any way that I can diagnose the timing and make sure it’s not anything else?

    Issues after cam swap

    You are right, one of the cam lobes was eaten up pretty good. No I didn’t inspect the rollers. This is my first time getting really internal in an engine but I have a bit of experience in other realms.

    Just don’t have the time or budget for it. And there was no lifter tick prior to the new camshaft, just a misfire.

    No I didn’t. But now I see I should have. And out of laziness I just want to make 100% sure that’s what it is before I go taking everything apart… again.

    Issues after cam swap

    Morning all, Taking to this group for some help on my cam swap I did on my 09 HEMI. Just got done replacing JUST the cam (no lifters). Re timed it by lining up the marks on the chain with the phaser at 12 o clock and pointing the keyway of the crank at 3 o clock (or towards the 5.7 mark on the...

    2009 HEMI Misfire without tick

    Thanks for the advice.. Not sure if you have been following the whole thread but the rocker is not going all the way down. I really hope that is not the case because I am almost halfway through a cam swap . Apuger
