After some spirited driving and getting higher revs before shifting i was blown...
Well what got me onto the forums is reading up on the hemi tick and mine has some kind of tick louder on one side on and off. It is not an exhaust leak from bolts. when i noticed it i did all this oil research but what seems to cure mine is driving hard and getting RPMs high after a good drive...
