I am not saying this is your solution, I'm just throwing my 2 cents in here. I can't say I remember where I heard this, but older fuel injector systems can have a tick that sound suspiciously like a lifter. Have you put a stethoscope to them and near the lifters?

Yes I have but the injectors are good I’ve been doing a lot of research and snooping around with a stethoscope and I believe is have a sort of piston slap so I’m gonna try replace 2 of my pistons because I can really narrow it down to the drivers back 2 pistons

Just my opinion at this point the time and money your putting into this wore out damaged motor. You could of swapped in a good used one 3rd gen hemis are fairly cheap not sure how easy they are to get wehere you are tho you should look around.

Interesting in that i have a 2007 as well and mine dont tick at all. Never has and the 07 has a older version of the Hemi before the 2009 revisions that seems to have the tick that is normal. So kinda surprised you are having troubles.
