    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    That 1st video doesn’t have the squealing screeching in person I think that’s an audio anomaly. I’m assuming the 2nd audio clip is from before I got the repair done can definitely hear the cam and hemi tick in that one

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Can you clarify this in layman's terms. Your saying the shop did the right thing because I asked them to fix it but actually didn't fix the hemi tick. So does that mean even though I got the new lifters and cam now, the motor will still eventually eat this new cam and lifters and I'll end up...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Hi Burla yes I followed your strategy from the first point(all the posts are in this thread) I was running redline 5w30 and the Royal purple oil filter. As per my previous messages in here I followed the strategy for 3 months and just shy of 5,000 kms with no change and I would argue it was...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Hi Burla, If you look at the picture of the bill I posted with the comments, the diagnosed the remaining tick as Injector noise that is not generating any code thus they are saying no cause for concern. My issue now is nobody gave it a mention that my ticking could have been injector tick and...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    So I got my truck back, new lifters, cam, new water pump, gaskets, cleaned heads all that jazz. Seems quieter but not completely gone, there is a note on the bill that injector tick can be heard at idle, no faults just a noise. Ride is silky smooth and good power it feels brand new. Inside the...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    So I’m making the decision just to bite the bullett and fix it buying a new car isn’t viable at this point and because the tick isn’t at the severe stage talking to the shop the engine should be good for another 160K or so as long as there isn’t massive filings in the oil. Once they drain if...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Hi there the truck only has 133,000 on it, my problem with spending the money on the fix is there’s no guarantees it will last and it could just be a patch job. All rust is an issue. I fixed it in the summer but may need to be done again. Gonna keep driving it awhile until I figure out what to...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    No miss fire codes, 5W30 is still in the truck it’s starting to get cold up here, was told to run the 0W30 but the oil is pretty fresh yet with the Royal purple filter. Lady did say it was early stages which I have no idea what that means. All I know is it’s a shit tonne of money. I’m going to...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Hi guys, So I have been running redline 5w30 for a couple months now and just under 5,000km on it. Unfortunately no change in the noise. I broke down and decided to get the truck diagnosed at a Napa shop here in Calgary that also has a machine shop on site. I got the call today that it’s not my...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Day 4 in the books since Redline change no difference in engine noise yet, I will say sometimes I think it’s gotten louder. No where near 500 mile mark. I was going to take her on a road trip next week but I’m a touch nervous something might go wrong on the highway. I think something has gone...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    I would say no, there is no change in the sound that I can hear as of right now but mostly city driving on it.

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    sorry I didn’t get under there but I think you guys get the just. I took a couple pictures of the old filter and new one before I put the rp one on. Any thoughts on the oil pressure gauge running high when the rev’s are high? At idle it’s dead Center. Hopefully this works but if it doesn’t part...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    So the redline is in, tick isn’t cured on first run but will report again after running it for 1500 miles or so. Here’s a couple videos https://youtu.be/aD0pEMquYkc https://youtube.com/shorts/pRGglsFJ7FE?feature=share

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Yes I do live in Canada and it does get ****** cold here. I’m not entirely sure I’ve ever heard any other bad noises other than all this ticking business. I’m assuming if I’m not having issues I can just continue to run 5w30 happily. Anyways 1 step at a time hopefully this works. In regards to...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Alright I grabbed the extra quart of oil and I am going to change it out tomorow. I'm assuming if this works I'd have to run this oil for the rest of the trucks life to keep it running smoother. Is there a point where you would go to the 5W20 Redline if you get rid of the tick or would just...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    One more quick question, how often should I change the oil with redline. Stick to 8000 Km's, and I'm assuming I should run the rp oil filter and redline 5w30 for the rest of it's life if this works to get rid of the tick. Thanks again.

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Hey Burla the manual says 7 quarts or 6.6 litres. The RP filter doesn’t look bigger that the OE filter. Is the extra oil just to push the lifter a bit further or? Why would I need the extra half quart?

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    So I went to mopac and got the redline oil and Royal purple filter will change the oil on the weekend. Here is the before video it’s kind of loud with the fan it’s 30 degrees here today and smoky from forest fires. The dripping in the video is condensation from the A/C and not oil just FYI. The...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Ok I haven’t had the diagnostic done on it yet just trying to get a rough idea of the cost to fix it and whether it’s worth it or not but I can’t even buy the same class of truck nowadays for what I paid for this thing. They are way more money for the new ones with the same motor. I’m still...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Varsity Chrysler her in Calgary just quoted $3800 for parts, 2100 labor. They replace the cam and exact same lifters. There’s a 150 diagnostic fee they may or may not waive. May give 10% off total. About 5300 to replace cam and lifters. Not sure how I feel about the exact same lifters going back...

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    i figured 7 quarts is 6.62 litres. So I thought A 1 gallon jug and 2 would be enough but your right I’d be short 1, math was off might as well hit Mopac for it on Saturday

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    I just called JB’s and Mopac they only sell red line by the quart. 16 per quart at mopac and 17 at JB’s. Mopac is only place I can find Royal purple oil filters at 16.50 for the one recommended by burla. Everyone I talk to thinks I’m just putting a band aid on a bigger problem but to me it’s...
