That's good to know. Not surprising either. That would help explain why the cam wears to a degree, but it doesn't explain the lifter rollers failing. From what I've seen it's the lifters which fail first, then taking out the cam.

A few of the higher end Hemi builders think the cam lobes starts to delaminate first,then the roller starts to skid on the lobe and develops a flat spot in a matter of miles. That's where the theory of Chrysler using to light a valve spring also comes into play,as the spring once it got some miles on it,and has fatigued to some extent,allows the lifter to bounce,which in turn hammers the lobe,and contributes to the cam delamination.
I've always thought something similiar to the piston squirters used in the 6.1's /6.2's and 6.4's would of been better utilized if they pointed at the cam lobes,instead of the pistons wrist pin.Even a small hole drilled in line with each cam lobe,from the VVT tunnel that would spray a small stream of oil onto the lobes would of accomplished alot to
I know that. Buddy doesn't. lol
I think there's a way to lock the 8 speed into 6th so it doesn't downshift on the dyno Dan. There doesn't seem to be as many issues with the better aftermarket cams once you delete the solenoids and use the later lifters aka: Hellcat lifters as everybody seems to call them.There's also the Johnson lifters with the axle oiling feature,that alot of the higher end shops are using these days.
This. The truth is out there.I've been against defeating the mds via the -/+ or a tune for a few years now G,lol. I've been trying to get the idea across for awhile ,if you're going to defeat the mds do it properly, you might say i've had some push back,lol
Reignited also has a video up all about it to.
At about the 14 minute mark he shows the Mopar plugs.
Is MDS Damaging Your HEMI? The Answer May Surprise You!
I feel like MDS has been unfairly made the culprit for the lifter failures we see on Gen 3 Hemi engines. In this video I explain exactly how the system works...www.youtube.com
@ramffml for president -I got an idea. Why don't you all donate a few hundred to the cause (ie: me) and I'll have someone tear down my engine and look at the lifters. Course while they're in there they may as well do some uh minor upgrades like a cam and MDS delete, but hey maybe we'll at least get some answers when it comes to lifter condition after 60k and no MDS.
It's a deal of the decade
@ramffml for president -
)Thanks I was getting on their case about it yesterday when putting a clutch on my vette,the boxes the headers and exhaust take up a lot of space.How do you keep the 6-2 downshifts from happening?They are using HP.
