5.7 Hemi 4x4 Lifter Ticking

[Wild one]

It’s either intentional straw man of what I said or you can’t read. My lifter never locked up. Everything you keep repeating has no relationship to what I told you. My lifter was ticking for 40k miles while the bearings wore down. Once it started slapping the cam I tore it down and replaced.

It’s hilarious to me how Kruger dunning you are about your own knowledge. How many lifter failures have you had? I’d assume 1 tops. Your experience is litterally nothing when it comes to the subject and you have zero authority to declare anything.

Myself on the other hand am speak strictly from experience, where are the mods? I think you could use a time out and back off.

And i'm flat out telling you, you're full of it,you did not drive 40,000 miles on a bad lifter bud,no matter how you try to sugar coat it,so quite passing out false information.What you were hearing for 40,000 miles wasn't a lifter,it was something else.Think about it dude,a conservative estimate means that cam made at a mininium 35 million rotations and odds are closer to 40 million,and that's not allowing for idling time,and it's also assuming the majority of those miles were at highway speeds,if the majority of those miles are city driving,it's going to be even higher. Nothing is going to make that many revolutions once it starts to go to hell.
You were hearing something else,probably exhaust or injectors,but definitely not a lifter.

Anybody reading this disregard the above posters advice,once a lifter starts to go to hell,park it,as it's only a matter of miles,before it grinds itself to death and fills the engine with metal filings.

Think about it, you’re not an engineer and it’s your opinion doesn’t make it fact. First thing I did when I became aware was get stethoscope from autozone and pinpointed it to cylinder one and guess what, 40k later you know what it was?

Your just a know it all forum warrior, you need to chill out

And i'm telling you,you're wrong.BTW i don't have much respect for a desk engineer,old school guys that came up through the school of hard knocks and have actual experience i trust more then any book learned engineer
And you sir,don't have any real world experience.

The other part of what you say that’s ridiculous but you are completely tone deaf too and it makes me think you’ve never had a bad lifter, is that when one first becomes aware of a noise that shouldn’t be there is denial is the first thing and anyone would look for every other possible thing it might be, but in your view it’s like ya let’s just assume the worst immediately and not verify anything. It’s just another outrageous part of your claim that degrades your credibility significantly

With your comments,i highly doubt you know the differance between a lifter tick and an injector tick,which is probably what you were hearing with your stethoscope

BTW there's thousands of hemi owners out there,who have suffered lifter failure,who will agree with me,and tell you,you don't know what a lifter tick actually is

I’m a relative noob here, I changed my lifters as a preventative maintenance with a lot of help from @Wild one. I did a ton of research before and while doing my repair and the conclusion I came up with was the cam and lifter issue had nothing to do with the mds. I would say one important thing with these Hemi engines is to change the oil regularly. It’s my opinion that the issues arise from cam placement, inferior metals and driving habits. These engines need to be driven relatively hard and in your first message you mentioned a pile of highway driving. Save your money and keep the mds

you both need to agree to disagree, sometimes people are wrong and they don't know it.
Let's knock it off or the thread gets locked.

I agree Crash,but guys who spread false information and don't have a clue of what they're talking about,need to be corrected,as there's guys who aren't up on vehicles and are guilible enough to believe them.
Lock it down before this guy can spread his misinformation anymore
