5.7l Hemi
Hello, I am looking for a good mechanic who can help me fix my 5.7l engine in South Central Alaska. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Details:

Hemi tick cold, get better when warm,;

Truck has idled a lot in its previous life on Slope;

Code on #5:
PO305 cylinder misfire

Mechanic changed the plugs and coil (but not the wires);

I use Redline 5w30 with good quality filter for the last oil change, seems to like it!

i use seafoam for fuel injectors, but no change.

It is probable the cam/lifters are dead, time to replace. It is very likely you cam lob 5 is worn to the nub, be prepared if you keep pushing it that it might leave you stranded. I wouldnt wander to far into that bush brother, till this is fixed. Get 2016 lifters, they have better needle bearings. Take a picture of cam and lifters to find what failed. Was the damage smooth or pitted?
