Hello all. New to this forum. Keep it short. Bought 2012 Ram Sport. Had bad cam/lifter. Had them replaced. 20,000 later, more noise. Replaced lifters. Retainers had come off of 2 of them. 10 times louder! Another set goes in. Not as noisy. Went on 1100 mile trip. Still noisy. Tore valve cover off and found my mechanic had broken the pad that the bolt goes thru to secure the rocker shaft. Replaced it with 3 washers, one of which was slightly bent to match the shaft. Also found the next bolt forward snapped off when I tried to loosen it. I have 4 new shafts and pushrods coming. Never worked on this type of motor before. Am I on the right track, here?
