47000 miles what's your thoughts 5.7 mds

[sport2013]

got a question . I removed the MDS solenoids at the bottom of the bore are plastic inserts with little magnets do those stay or go with the delete kit don't know if they affect the flow of oil . oh wise ones please advise

Here is a video explaining it pretty clearly. Not uncommon to "break" the solenoid and leave a piece inside that has to be removed.

That magnet piece should have come out with the solenoid.

HEMI MDS Solenoid removal (Without breaking them)

This video we show you how to remove MDS solenoids in a HEMI Engine without breaking them! This engine has about 150k miles on it so its not a new engine.#Do...

they came out fine looked in bore saw black plastic pulled out with needle nose . so they are part of solenoid ?

 

[sport2013]

they looked like they were separate to catch fine metal particles.

Does it look like this:

 

[sport2013]

yes. the parts I'm talking in picture above sit's in the bore under the solenoid

 

[sport2013]

I'm assuming the oil flows over it and the magnet catches any metal in oil it's a 2022 motor. but you know how assuming can go

 

[sport2013]

So do any of you guy's know if those little magnets stay or go

 

[Ken226]

I did a couple google searches. This is the closest to a definitive answer I could find.

Well, they are only in the MDS circuit oil passages. If the MDS solenoid is deleted, then there seems to be little use for them (the other 4 circuits don't have them from the get go). Plus they will be basically just sitting in the oil passage with only a magnet holding in place after the solenoid is deleted.. Don't think that is optimal and they "could" move / migrate where they shouldn't be, perhaps.

Bring them to the pond to do a float test.

 

[sport2013]

they are gone the oil pressure would push them up off the seat without the solenoids and cause some issues. what do you guy's that deleted do with plugs ends was going to tape off so nothing can get in them

 

[sport2013]

Buttoned up and going in tomorrow

Looks very clean. I would probably put something over the plug to keep moisture out.

If you flushed the heater core out,you can run any coolant you want,if you didn't flush it,i'd stick with OEM coolant,but that's only my opinion.

 

[sport2013]

everything was flushed went with Preston max 15 year , lubegard bio tech, penn platium full syn . sounds good need to shutoff mds in computer. wating on rp filter and red line . my alfa obd will not shut it off or I don't know what I'm doing with it

 

[Ken226]

No, it won't.

You'll need a tuner.
