Could this be why 5.7 hemis are seeing cam and lifter problems?

Not sure if this has ever been posted, and all this is a bit over my head, so I'm putting this here for information purposes. Take it as you will.

This has been posted about 10 times now in the forum.

It confirms everything we have though in the synthetic oil thread.

There is some discussion on that video there

agreed, this is about the 10th time I have seen it. Based on this video, I am curious how many people with lifter problems are running oil with MOLY in it vs. without....

Sorry guys, I didn't know it was posted before.

I do not think the points this guy makes about a lack of oil on the cam amounts to anything. A roller lifter doesnt need much oil like that old small block with flat tappet cam. The lack of oil to the lifter bore seems like the problem to me. This can cause the short lived tapping noise at startup that I think over time damages the lifter bearings.

Might want to watch this also.

Did you miss the part about perpendicular forces?

Wait Kilmer hates hemis? Must be a good engine then

Says he hates these in one video, but he thinks the hellcat v8 is one of the best modern v8s? Hes a walking contradiction
