I'm sorry about this video, having some audio issues and it was cut out :(

The secret to saving your cam and lifters is zinc. I have 160K+ miles on my 06 hemi. No ticks. I put a few ounces of Lucas engine assembly lube in the oil at each oil change. The industry removed zinc from oil about 20 year's ago and it has been wreaking havoc on engine's ever since.

Same issue same motor. Helped a lot thanks for your video 👍🏻

You make it look easy lol awesome job. I have a 2014 with the same noise. Was recently told that the crankshaft was the problem by a tire guy but I haven’t taken it to an actual mechanic

I’m a retired diesel mechanic and watched the young mechanic working on one It maded my back hurt just watching for three hours

You are an awesome mechanic. I'm an old Codger , I just got me a 2013 hemi 5.7 and I wished you lived close to me . Thank you for the video

Great video. Helped a lot. Just did this to my Jeep srt8 same concept but it didn’t take me 14 minutes like you. 😅

Great video, now to tackle this lifter problem myself.

I have a 2006 RT Magnum and it makes the same noise. Might watch your video a couple hundred times before I actually do it myself

Only replaced one side or is that the only side you took off while filming how do you get the cam out with the driver side head still on? Is that possible?

We want another video! Lol awesome video really wish audio was fine best one ive found

It has been determined that idle hours is the biggest detriment to hemi cam and lifter failures. (Police fleet service history basically proves this)Minimize idling, change oil frequently more at an engine hours interval than mileage, and the theorized true fix or prevention of the hemi tick, is to upgrade to a hellcat oil pump

awesome job buddy im going to rebuild a 2003 dodge ram 2500 you did good video thanks helps lots

Wow, great video, you make it look easy but it obviously isn't. I'm hoping I'm retired by the time I would need to service my truck in this way... right now I wouldn't attempt it. Nice tools you use as well. Very informative and just the right speed. Looking forward to seeing more. Thanks!!!!

It looks like once the rocker arms tightened there was some horizontal play still is that normal ?

I have a 2014 jeep grand cherokee 6.4 srt I have a nocking noise under the cylinder valve cover I opened and one rocker is open loss do I have to change the lifters and the camshaft please help

Great video dude thanks for doing this

lots of help. thanks for making this

Great repair video!

You put cylinder head without planing? Will it not be a problem with the gasket in the future?

Has anyone done a newer hemi swap in a mid-2000s Ram ...my cam/phaser is smaller than the new engines cam snout and the phasers are different so I have to switch them???? Any suggestions

Can you explain the rocker arms ? Are adjusting required? Or torquing each cylinder rocker arms at spec to TDC?

Thank you from KSA.

question: if you are replacing it stock OEM do you still require a tune?? if so which one and which is beneficial??

Hey man I had a very important question I been dealing with this maybe for the past month and been trying to figure it out myself but I can’t seem to know what’s the problem causing this but my driver side rocker arms are loose both intake and exhaust and tried to tight them up but they became loose again they move side to side just a little bit I don’t think it’s the cam because it’s only on my driver side that’s making the noise n I know for a fact that it’s my rocker arms but I don’t know what’s causing that my rockers are coming loose I fight em up put everything together start the car and it’s still the same

Thank you. I didn’t know cam shafts had a expiration date…

Great video. Love to see actual steps and process rather than me me me crap. Thanks.

One rocker arm is lose and nicking noise do I have to change the drive shaft

Yo good video man this will be handy . 👌

With so much metal debri though out the engine Would you recommend getting a new engine? ...or just replacing oil pump timing belt other components work?..where does all that metal debri exactly go? Does it All get flushed out after changing lifters and camshaft or does some of it stay inside small crevices Creating potential future problems ?

How much would you charge to do this on a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee trail rated edition Or swap 2015 charger 392 engine

2015 ram v8 5.7 I replaced the cam and lifters now the truck runs way more rough than it did. The CEL is flashing when previously it was only constantly on. Bad mechanic? Rpm is constantly high. Dont know what else to fix. Seems like it got worse than before i replaced the cams and lifters. Any suggestions?

Did you have to drop the oil pan at all? Can you do this in a garage at your house and not have to put it in the air?

I was wondering should there be any play in the rocker arm from side to side also if there is play would it stop your truck from starting? Thanks I’m advance

I have a hemi RT and they just changed the lifters out but the truck is really lacking power should I try changing out the cam shaft ?

I just had this done to my 2012 Jeep Hemi. My mechanic told me that because there's not a lot of room to pull the camshaft, the job would be easier to pull the engine...which is what he did. But with this video I now see what he had to do! I like how the entire front of the engine can come off without removing the waterpump. I may do this later on to replace the oil pump with a high volume Melling oil pump so to prevent this lifter failure from happening again!

Great info and instruction. What lubricant did you use on head bolts? Oil or assembly lube?

good job! you have to disconnect crankshaft sensor first before run dry engine.

So you have to remove the other head too (& those lifters) to get the cam out right? Thats why you briefly showed 16 lifters? Or did you just replace all lifters on this side?

Do you put new cam bearings for the new cam or just check them with gauge and if their within spec you use them?

Is there a need go set timing? Or no? Sorry for the question I'm used to 4cylinder engines.

Other then that great work

Dam you made this shit look to easy. Good shit right there

Great work and like it’s been said you definitely make it look easy I was wondering if you could explain more about the timing chain that’s what makes me Nervous about attempting this what do I have to do to make sure I get the timing chain lined up correctly? Thanks in advance

my ram is making a strange noise if it is the same problem how much does a job like that cost?

So I have a 2013 Ram 1500 5.7 2WD, It’s throwing a Cylinder 7 misfire (P0307) and air ratio imbalance (P219A). I can feel a slight misfire while idling or stopped at a light. Not entirely sure why but when I did a injector kill test on it instead of sputtering the truck completely turned off and this happened on any cylinder on opposite or suspected bank aswell. Swapped the coils, plugs, crankshaft sensor, O2 sensors but still no luck. What I have noticed is that the 2nd time I put the new plugs in the truck lasted probably 40 miles before the engine light came on so I pulled the plugs out again and they looked pretty dark brown to black which didn’t seem normal considering they only been in there for 40 miles or less. Compression Test showed 160 or so. No smoke comin out the exhaust too. Any idea if it’s still possibly a cam or lifter failure

Did u replace the lifters on both sides?

Did you have to replace camshaft bearings

Doesn't it happen all over again with those OEM parts? Why not upgrade the lifters and cam material?

im having my 06 dodge ram 2500's cam and lifters done this week. you only took off the left head? thought both came off.

Crankshaft pulley does not need to be pulled or did I miss something? Looks like it was attached to cover when removed

Awesome man! I really want to learn how to install new valve springs I want to cam my truck but I’m scared to install the valve springs due to me never doing it before

I noticed the lifters were place 180 from each other as the bleed off holes were opposite. Does this matter or what not sure but thought I would ask. Great vid. Thank you

With this type of failure did you get any type of code? I have a 06 300c ran fine and strong stop for gas went to start it just cranked but no start until you go half throttle then a rough idle with slight knock/rattle then stall.

Does anyone know about how much it would run someone to have a mechanic fix it?

Great video thank you very knowledgeable, I own two hemi 5.7l engines 2019 Ram 1500 and 2018 dodge durango RT, My suggestion is switch to high quality synthetic 5w-30 sooner the better, stable lubrication and higher oil pressure will let your hemi be bullet proof. Good luck and Good Bless 🇺🇸.

I hear that you need to pre soak the lifters. Did you do that and have you had any problems since ( if you did or did not ) I’m getting mixed answers about pre soaking

How you keep crank from rotating when torquing the camshaft bolt?

Did you replace lifters on both sides or just side that had bad lifter? Thanks

hey, I had the same problem with my car a 2010 Dodge Ram 5.7 and i did the same job and the car has a noise like lifters I saw your video and you said I have to drive. do you think that is it need to do?

Hows it going bro how do i get in contact with you ? Im located in pomona inland empire and i see you work in the inland empire as well . Im trying to get this fixed asap . Have the same problem but no codes

What u guys think of combining Juggernaut button (hellfighter kit) whit AR maglock gen 2?? It works perfect!!

Hi there Great video, I have a valve that is not opening, discovered it after removing valve cover, cylinder 4. Do you think that would also cause that cylinder to not have compression?

This looks complicated brother 😕 I have the same issue with my truck 2012 ram ....I don't think I'm competent enough to do this on my own ...I can change my plugs but that's about it...what do you recommend? Find a decent mechanic or go back to dealership? And how much would a repair like this cost me ? Any info would help me so much thank you for posting this

Hey Question on my ram 1500 hemi we replace camshaft and all lifters head gaskets and all and the truck still ticking can you please let me know if you can help me with that any information would be nice thank you

Great video dude. Just one thing, is more better if u can explain how much torque have every bolt.

Professional job

Hey Great video. Looks like I might have to tackle this on my truck also. It's only a light tik right now. Was wondering if a sign that my camshaft is damaged would mean that there is some metal in my oil. I literally just got done doing videos on the manifold problems earlier this year. Now this. Lol.

my 2003 dodge sounds just like this noise you showing on this video... is it worth fixing the cam and Lifter s or the entire motor

So the hemi engine rebuild what's your price I have an 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 liter with ticking noise and code

great video

How much of a problem or concern are the metal shavings that come from the cam?

Hi did you remove only one engine head or both for replacement of cam???

did you have to retune the truck afterwards or is it just a straight up swap? thx jeff

What oil was in the blue can? im currently replacing my lifters now

Is it for a 2500 or 1500?

I know this video is 2 years old but it just popped up and I'm very interested in this topic....... BUT, since when did camshafts (auto parts) come with an "expiration date????" 5:18

What is the average cost to rebuild heads on a 2008 Dodge Durango 5.7. Himi. ?

How much would you it on mines for.

How long did it take u to do it? I'm about to tackle this job but I'm not sure how much to charge, thank u and keep up the great work!

I feel like this should be a recall on the 4th gens. Is common for the cam to go bad and lifters on the passenger side. But why does the excessive wear happen. See on my 2012 ram I use 10W-40 oil instead of the recommended 5w20 and as of right now I have no tick thankfully. It would be a pain to have to go through this process. If at some point my camshaft goes bad I would might as well upgrade to helcat lifters and I racing cam or something and have it sounding real nice.

How many hours did it take. Excluding breaks or otherwise.

Woo you have all that metal in your oil? Oil filter will bypass and metal will be in the bearings and piston skirts!!! How long do you figure it will last?

So I just rebuilt my engine everything is new.now I can't seem to figure out why my left side pushrods are loose.got any tips

My truck is in the shop getting head redone and new cam. I really hope the engine lasts for a little bit lol. 6k into this ram now.

Where did you get the cam and lifters from? Or did you buy a full kit?

Thank you

How much would this cost to fix?

Buenas noche saludos desde Venezuela 🇻🇪 por lo que vi se puede , cambiar solo el lado que sonaba ..?

Man I've watched 10 hemi instal videos but yours was the best. If you do another video . Could you not speed through the pushrod install. I ate crayon growing up. But you definitely saved me

I know you said that you had to remove everything that was in front and just moved the condenser over to have enough room to remove the camshaft but dam! You’re standing directly in front of the engine as if the engine was pulled out and sitting on a stand. Am I missing something here?

Dodge need they ass in court it’s millions of people have the same problem and people still buying the crappie trucks

Is there even a top dead center you need to be at or no??

How much does a job like cost?

Ty

Currently replacing my lifters on 2014 5.7 charger and the cam is okay thankgod, but I’m just so nervous putting back together I’ve had the car for a year and only have been able to drive it 30 days total, car keeps breaking down on me doesn’t help being overseas a lot in navy and can’t fix always but the Head gasket blew, the rocker assembly snapped somehow when a mechanic did it, so now I do everything myself but As soon as it’s fixed I’m selling it. Never getting another newer mopar again

I need my 2013 Dodge Ram done could you repair mine. I have the MDS delete kit with tuner for rhe repair. I live in Conyers Ga let me know if you are close by & have the time

How much does it cost to do this

From all the KZfaq videos I’ve seen yours is the best one . Everything nice and clear . By the way what’s the background song called ?

Changed my camshaft position sensor. Now I having a ticking noise. I moved the starter out of the way installed the part . I had trouble making the crankshaft flush. But now my new problem is the ticking. Anyone familiar with this situation?
