Please watch my NEWEST video to get the very latest info on this issue! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z82geNqcubynnXk.htmlsi=Zh-s2MnZE5fdGmmM

Just got my '08 Charger Police Interceptor back on the road after changing the head gaskets and rebuilt heads at 95k miles. I have no experience working on engines but I followed your videos and the only thing I needed to go back and do was readjust the rocker arms. I bought the srt headers to swap but couldn't find a set of midpipes in time. Thanks for the best hemi engine content on YT!

Thanks for taking time for all this research. It's going to help alot of people.

It's good to see you continue with your informative and accurate comparisons. I enjoy all the in-depth videos you do. Wish you the best Sky! :)

Excellent tutorial on the different types of oil pumps for gen 3 hemi engines! Thanks for the heads up on everything!

GREAT video, Skye! Glad you're back up and running

Man, you are a wealth of phenomenal brainstorming and accurate insightful presenting. I could listen to you and watch your work all day long !!!

Love how you brainstorm through stuff on your videos. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge on the Hemi! 👍🍻

Great video!! Very interesting. Looking forward to part 2!

Fantastic video Sky, lots of great information, looking forward to part 2. Can you get the oil pump off a Ram with the pan still on...yes, but it's a pain (video evidence on my channel). You need a thin wrench, need to remove the chain tensioner, and there is a bit of prying involved. Remember that while the cranks are similar in length they did redesign the crank (changed the tapper on the snout) to accommodate the redesigned timing set, which is also a bit different. I will see if I can dig up some pictures and send them to you. Great video as always, and the new shop looks great, you just need to get the heat working...lol.

Good is s great series. I have been waiting for this to come out. Great job explaining things Sky.

A reminder: for those who are looking for actual oil PSI before and after numbers, they will be in subsequent videos. Even if I'm wrong and this pump makes no discernible difference, I'll still post the numbers. 👍

Awesome video and packed full of great information !

Great video, can't wait for the testing of the oil pump. The suspense is killing me!

14% improvement with Hellcat pump may well be significant. My dealer shop foreman has stated to me that the supervisor or foreman trucks that spend a lot of time idling are about the only engines they see with cam/lifter failures. The workers trucks that are started and run with minimal idle time rarely have the failure. That makes sense to me since the cam lobe sans lifter are the last to get lubrication. With the advent of the low viscosity oils I postulate that the oil is bleeding off before it reaches the lifters and cam lobes. This coincides with my own experience with my own truck. Perhaps even going up to 5w-30 will help with the bleed off? I always ran 5-30 in my truck until the last oil change when I was convinced to go back to the 5-20. Followed in a couple of thousand miles by cam and lifter failure.

Hey I'm the rare 2009 6.1L owner, that's me. I've been following your channel for awhile now and so glad you came out with this video. I spun a rod bearing last year and decided to get a stroker block to replace it. I'm going to upgrade a few other things as well and the hell cat oil pump just moved up on my parts list. Let me know if you want my 09 6.1L oil pump or other parts I may not be reusing so you can do other comparisons.

Hey another excellent video. Yes going to have to brainstorm this one and I will be following. They certainly threw a wrench in pushing components forward.

I’ve been looking into the hellcat pump for a few years but until you came along there’s been no info. I truly believe your on to something with this mod.

Great job with that information love your channel

Great video with a lot of detail 👍

I am totally doing this upgrade when I cam swap my 2015 Ram 1500 R/T! Thanks for sharing.

Can’t wait for the next video!

Yes! You had posted the video in September regarding your suspicions of this. I had commented that I was mid way through a rebuild and was going to try this, and the larger volume worked on my 2011 R/T

Awesome insight!! Just about to do my 5.7 mods!! Thanks

Great video!!! Can’t wait for the videos to come. I want to do all the prevention I can in the next few months. 2006 Magnum R/T AWD 120k mi. Hasn’t dropped the seats yet. I’ve seen oil temp hit 245 when towing a 3000 pound trailer up Donner summit. Just waiting on you and your guidance. Keep up the good work.

I absolutely love the content you’re channel is my favorite hemi channel on KZfaq - I’ll be adding that hellcat oil pump to my list thanks.. 👍🏻👍🏻 I have 2009 charger rt I’m getting ready to change the cam to a 6.4 I love the fact you have been listing all the part # do you know if you can bolt eagle 🦅 heads on a 6.4 short block ? I do all my own work I have a ton of bolt on’s on this old gem 💎 only a summer car as we are from Michigan.. Mods so far - full srt8 suspension Under carriages rear diff 306 ratio and full brembo brakes swap, ported and polished, intake and 87mn TB, long tubes 1-7/8 high flow cats, slp lound mouth exhaust 3”

First glad to see you are doing videos again, this one has a lot of great information, thank you once again.

If i had to guess your solution, i'd say you take the 2017 pump body and the hellcat internals? Can't wait to see your follow up video! Love looking at your video's Sky. Always a lot of good info on the mighty Hemi engine. Love it, keep em coming Sky! Greetings from Netherland!

Always great video thank you 🙏🏾

Impressive video! Thanks for the research

Great video!! Keep them coming!! Learned a lot!

Good work Sky. Just remember where it all started. Best of luck. Kenny from Coast Auto Center. 👍

I had no idea but I’m glad there is someone that is able to break down the comparisons and it makes good sense. More flow equals better lubrication for better protection. Great job! Time to get a hellcat oil pump.

My first guess to this would be to see if the later 5.7 ring and 10 tooth gear will fit in the early 9 tooth housing. If it does, your increasing volume and pressure anyways without the need to modify the housing itself.

I have done a lot of Cam and lifter jobs. I'm actually in the middle of one right now so far I have never had to remove the oil pan just take all the bolts out and let it hang then take your to pick up two bolts out and then you can remove the old pump without pulling the pan completely off I know this works on pickup trucks never tried it on anything else.. great video!

Great video bub

Sick videos man I was the guy talking to you at the gas station with. the turbo miata

Awesome video! My 🧠 is bigger after watching it.

Just a little FYI, P01 recall has taught many techs at the dealership about pulling the pump without pulling the pan on the cars. Also, there were some Grand Cherokees that came with a plastic oil pan which has the pick-up built into the pan - the pick-up would engage the pump as the pan was tightened to the block. Also, from years of doing the P01 recall that replaced the timing chain, guide and tensioner. In order to get the pump rotated enough to get the pick-up bolt out, first take the tensioner for the timing chain out. If you have any worries about the timing chain falling off the crank gear and going out of time, you can simply run a zip-tie through one of the windows in the camshaft gear and around the tensioner side of the chain to hold it tight. Easily able to cut that off when the tensioner is back in place. One other tip, have a magnet that you can stick down into the pan to recover the pick-up mount bolt when you drop it down into the pan.

I just took apart a 2014 6.4 truck engine and it came with a 16MM thick rotor, I do not have an SRT8 oil pump right now but for sure the BGE uses the larger pump. Also the earlier 5.7 had the smallest volume of them all and didn't have lifter failure problems. My current 6.4 BGE I built from scratch for my 2011 ram 2500 I used a thin 5.7 pump and it never drops below 20PSI at idle even with 240 degree oil temp and 5w20 oil, I have another 2011 5.7 pump in my hand with the 16MM rotors, even has the 2011 casting date that very much predates the hellcat by a few years so it is definitely not been retrofitted. My guess is the thin pump came on the car 5.7 for some reason (the one you have in your video is a car engine and mine came from my stash of parts from who knows where) The 6.4 BGE and hellcat both have VVT as well as piston squirters (my hermaphrodite in my 2011 has them still but even with the smaller oil pump still has plenty of oil pressure) and I suspect that is why they both come with the larger oil pump. In my opinion the larger oil pump is not going to cure the bad lifter problem, 20 PSI is more than enough, the lifter itself is the problem and when they updated it with larger needle bearings and less shrouding from the splash oil by the skirt around the axle the rollers quit going bad.

Thank you! Hopefully with some testing we can validate this!

Thanks for this video. Installed this oil pump on my 2014 recently while replacing the cam and lifters, based on your theory in your earlier video. Nice to see the physical difference, and that it was worthwhile!

I have a 2019 challenger rt with a bunch of goodies. I didnt know about hellcat oil pump, but i run 10w-20 instead of the 5w-20 and it has helped with oil prssure. I run about 50 psi at idle when at temp and 55 at cruising

Thanks for this, the information is awesome. We did this to a 2016 Ram 2500 with a 6.4L and it is working great. We added the HellCat pump based on your early theory video, glad you posted it before we completed the build.

without knowing any of this i recently bought a used one owner 2013 ram truck. actually says 0 idle hours on the instrument cluster. hearing you say this makes me happy. the engine is sewing machine quiet which is one of the reasons I bought it. he had the dealer change the oil on time every time per the car fax. and apparently didn't let it idle much. I do notice the oil psi never drops below 40 when the engine is at full temp after driving it around a while. it's about 65 when cold. seems pretty normal from all the cars I've ever owned. this truck doesn't even have a broken exhaust manifold bolt like most do it looks like this is a huge problem too. as for the tooth count, I suspect the pump can now spin at a higher rpm. thus also increasing flow rate.

Great video!

You got this !!!

Thanks for this. good to know I can use the same pick up tube. 2mm makes a difference when its 14.3% more volume.

Great job

Great video

That’s cool so I can put a hellcat oil pump on my 07 charger RT. If so the oil pumps are not that expensive. Great video 👍👍

I have an 09 built 2010 registered 1500 4x4 with 5.7 that has 202K miles / 4700 hours and has had 5w30 amsoil signature series oil since 16K miles when I bought it. I do oil analysis a couple times a year and it is still tick free and oil sample results show clean also. Mostly road miles with with little idle time except for warm up in winter for 5-10 minutes tops before taking off. Pulls heavy often 7500-10k lbs on a 24' gooseneck trailer.

Bought my 2017 Ram 3 1/2 years ago, it had conventional in it when I bought it, when I'd idle it would be at 27lbs, kept that in it for a couple oil changes cause they were free. Got tired of the dang dry lifter tap almost every cold start up. Started using Amsoil Signature, 3 years ago, awesome stuff, never looking back. My truck idles at 37lbs now, have never had the dry lifter tap on startups, since switching and the ole Hemi idles nice and smooth, no ticking, not that it ever did, but trying to prevent, so far so good, knock on wood, lol.

My 5.7 hemi in my '14 broke a valve spring with 108,xxx miles. So, while it was down, I went ahead and also put a timing chain and Hellcat oil pump in it. I primed the oiling system before I actually tried to start it. When it was time to run the engine, I had my vehicle info display (temp, oil pressure, oil temp and transmission temp) up on dash. When the engine started, with the Hellcat pump I have 92 psi at cold start, NINETY-TWO PSI. I saw a comment on one of the videos about a guy that had installed a Hellcat oil pump and then he got a DTC code for "oil pressure high" and he said he had to buy and install an oil pressure switch/sending unit for a 6.2 Hellcat. I would say that his oil pressure switch was already going bad. I say this because the oil pressure for the 5.7 hemi and the 6.2 supercharged hemi are the EXACT SAME part number.

Loving your videos. I've asked this a couple times to confirm cuz you responded to my initial comment about my PSI in a way that lead me to believe that I'm in good shape and don't need to change my oil pump. For whatever reason with my 2016 Ram 5.7, I'm getting at least 10 psi higher at idle than what you said it should be in your video where you first postulated about the Hellcat oil pump. So about 35-40 at warm and high 50's while driving and cruising. Based on the numbers you said for the 09+ 5.7's I feel like I'm in pretty good shape. Thoughts?

Great video as always. Your the best buddy. The last time I had my 14 Ram opened up is when you helped me out on the crank and cam timing and I tried everything to get that pump off without dropping the pan and no success. I didn't want to pry on the tube and getting the bolt back in would have nearly been impossible. So I dropped the pan on jack stands which I've had better times working on ford duratec engines. 🤣 I installed a new pump while I was in there. However, I do wish I knew about the 6.2 pump. I'm looking into it but the thought of dropping the pan again gives me flashbacks 😩 😆. P.S. if it was me I would take another timing gear and cut a portion out and maybe weld it to the existing one,which could be quite the cosmetic job as well. Can't wait to see what you do sky. 👍🤙

A little warning that ive seen from the rare few who used the hellcat pump, and even the melling HP. People have reported EXCESSIVELY high PSIs, 80-90 cold start, and it is the roughly the same at WOT, idle drops to what the stock pumps pressure would be at WOT(50-55).the engine will throw a trouble code for pressure, and you run the risk of blowing a seal, or worse, some say you may even lose power. You could probably tune your idle RPMs a bit, but coming from a habitual idler, my 160k miles has 6k engine hours, and ive never had a lubrication issue, and i have to warm my car up until the tranny hits at least 130 before itll be nice to me, usually 20-30 minutes. More pressure doesnt necessarily mean more oiling, since reportedly the SRT/cat have different methods of lubrication than the 5.7L.

Could’ve sworn I was subscribed before but I did it again anyways.

I had #3 (non mds cylinder) go out on me. Lobe was pretty bad and lifter roller worn & siezed. Already have replacement cam, lifters etc, already ordered a Hellcat pump by time I saw your videos. Have 226,000km at 5,028 hours. Owneed the truck since new (2009). Intending to keep the truck for a few years yet.

I can confirm. Hellcat oil pump fits any 2009 and up 5.7 Hemi. I rebuilt my 2009 Ram 1500 in my garage after a collapsed lifter and 2 more lifters collapsing.

Nice info

So glad I got rid of my hemi tick. It was driving me crazy.

Just use an aftermarket high volume standard pressure pump for the 2003-2008 Hemi or you can try a standard volume. Not hard to ship the relief spring or replace the relief/bypass spring with a higher pressure spring.

Dam man you had my hopes up for my Jeep !

The only possible solution I see (...I'm not a mechanic, but I'm not afraid to do work either), would be to place the internals of the Hellcat pump into the pre '09 pump body. I have no idea if they would fit, but it's the only solution I see. Thanks for you videos, love watching! One question, is there any risk to any part of the engine/seals etc. by increasing oil pressure across the board?

That was a great video! Do you think if Chrysler had done the Hellcat oil pump as part of a fleet police package upgrade, do you think there would have been as many cam/lifter failures from extended idle? Just wondering your opinion.

Hi Sky. Does the installation of the Hell Cat oil pump raise the oil pressure across the entire RPM range? And if so could running a higher oil pressure lead to other issues? For example could gaskets not designed for it blow out? Or any other possible issues be caused. I have a 2015 Ram 5.7 Thanks.

Summit racing now has high pressure oil pumps made for the 5.7 Hemi. Brothers 2010 has this problem.

I'm probably going to do this swap on my 5th gen 1500 as soon as it's out of warranty... Do you anticipate any complications of factory PCM tuning with oil pressure/volume being higher?

Hi. I want to start off by saying you have a awesome channel and the information is great and useful. I have a 2010 jeep srt8 6.1 and I want to upgrade the pump. What would you recommend for this upgrade?

Completely different engine but still a Chrysler. I replaced the rockers and lash adjusters in my 04 4.7 with later ones. The difference was the size of the orifices on the rockers, the old ones had oil spray holes about 1/8" in diameter which allowed a huge internal oil pressure leak, 16 of them actually. I had hot oil pressure of around 7 psi at idle and a lot of lifter clatter upon start up. Replacing them with updated ones, I believe it was 05 when they were changed. The squirter hole was reduced in diameter to about 1mm in diameter and the lash adjusters had the feed hole moved up to put about half of it in the bore diameter itself. These 2 changes alone raised my hot idle oil pressure from around 7 psi to around 16 psi which significantly reduced my cold start clatter. I would replace the pump however one is not offered and this Hemi pump will not fit mine.

You can “easily” (with a small pry bar) pull the pickup tube out of the oil pump and remove the pump without completely removing the oil pan, but I did have to lower it (left two rear bolts in a couple treads and pulled the front of the pan down) in order to get to the bolt on the pickup tube due to the oil baffle/windage tray.

Are you back in Oregon now , great show .

My 08 5.7 hemi 300c was completely rebuilt with mds delete, new lifters, and melling upgrade oil pump, new everything, and rebuilt heads. I still have the hemi tick.

In the middle of doing this mod right now to a 2015 RAM 5.7. Swapping the stock oil pump for a Hellcat pump, but using the stock pump's relief spring. New Chain, tensioner and guide, new (non-MDS) cam, new lifters, pushrods, valve springs (needed for new cam). Expecting to see around 65-70 PSI oil pressure after the swap. Was getting 40 before. With only 180,000km (112,000mi) on the engine, I expected to see my original, MDS-capable cam in great shape. I was wrong. Even though I've been using Redline 5W30 with good K&N or Wix filters, there were two cam lobes already showing signs of advanced wear. Of course, they were on MDS cylinders. The lifters were all decent looking and still turned on the needle bearings. Cylinders still have good crosshatch so the shortblock is good. Heads sent to machine shop because they were off, so may as well get them cleaned up. This engine was still relatively quiet and not throwing codes, which goes to show you just how bad this design flaw is. Even if you think you're still okay with a stock hemi because it isn't ticking yet, you probably aren't.

Another huge reason to upgrade the oil pump to a hellcat oil pump is for track racing. I am looking to add a hellcat air to oil cooler (hellcat version) to decrease oil temperature for track driving. If anyone has done track driving with 6.4L hemi, they run very hot oil temp at circuit tracks. Before adding an air to oil cooler, you need more oil flow, hence install a hellcat oil pump. As an added bonus, it will help prevent hemi tick :)

What if the hellcat oil journals/pathways are also larger than the Ram 1500 pathways , therefore allowing more flow/volume? Point is, if you add a higher volume ( idle ) oil pump, but the system is more restrictive, then you have added more pressure, but not more flow. I have no idea... But I would guess that the Hellcat engine oil pathways are also larger, and probably proportional to the higher flow pump. So, unless the oil pathway of the Ram 1500s and the Hellcat are different, then all you're doing is adding pressure to a still restrictive flow. If oil pathways are the same, then I can see how this would hep. Thanks for the time and details - much appreciated!

I watched a video by Uncle Tony where he theories why these lifters go bad/cams get wiped in the hemi’s. It’s not an oil pressure problem, it’s a design issue in A) the angle of the lifter in relation to its bore, and b ) the location of the cross over pipe blocking “splash” oil from reaching the lifters at low rpm…. I’m Not sure more oil pressure would solve either issue. Perhaps oil volume, but not pressure as there is no pressure where the lifter roller rides on the cam. The reason why idle kills these motors is the lack of splash, when the motor is spinning faster the oil is getting slung harder and in more volume by the crank and more oil hits the roller.

@ReignitedAuto I had cam/lifter failure - 2011 RAM 1500 5.7L. I just bought the Hellcat pump 68195993ad and did the side-by-side on the old oil pump VS the Hellcat, and they both measured the 16mm width [Rotor thickness]... My old oil pump had a "622BF" stamped on the back plate. Have you ever had one out of a RAM truck?

Love your videos. Please let us know as soon as possible how the 6.4 Scat Pack oil pump compairs to the Hellcat oil pump. I believe there are many Scat Pack owners such as myself that would definitely do this mod if we knew it would benefit us. Thanks for all you do!

Yes, this is the very truth, Chrysler did not install a high enough volume oil pump in the 5.7 Hemi Engine and from reading I found out that the 6.2 Hemi oil pump fits the 5.7 hemi as well. The problem is that the older hemi blocks were made differently, as the cam shafts of the new blocks were actually put further apart form the crank, so distribution of oil is much less than the older versions of the block. From reading, this is what I have understood. The oil has more of a distance to travel and doesn't lubricate enough on the cam shaft compared to older versions. The fix is to install a higher volume oil pump on the engine block to increase oil pressure, thereby reducing wear on the camshafts. I would suspect that this would also have an effect on the piston rings and valve guides as they would get more oil pressure circulation as well, increasing the life span. Another problem has been that the exhaust manifold bolts are notoriously able to break during heating/thawing, because the aluminum heads heat/thaw differently than the block its self. From reading is to buy sport tuned header shorty's to mount up to the original exhaust or sport tuned long headers with redoing the exhaust system. The most less expensive way is to buy shorty's that are sport tuned. This seems to solve the exhaust manifold bolt breakage problems from reading. From reading, these are the major issues with Hemi Engines. Some older years in past recent generations had valve seats dropping into the cylinder on Gen 4. They seemed to have fixed the issue of valve springs loose in Gen 5.

Because the entire pump is pushed out so far, I'd see if you can get the timing cover back on, even if the splines don't fit. If that does work, you could possibly rough cut a 2nd oil pump drive, and weld it onto the existing one to get the extra length. If you did that though, I'd be concerned if the balancer would press on far enough. Another idea is to port the existing pump. HeadflowInc has a great set of videos where he ports LS pumps and adds shims to the pressure spring. The pre-08 hemi pump doesn't have a threaded cap on the pressure regulator like the LS does, instead it is a pressed cup, retained by a roll pin. If you drive out the roll pin with a punch, you can get the pressed cup out with a little bit of work. Ideally, you'd want to tap for a plug (I wouldn't be surprised if the LS plug would fit since the pumps are so similar). But even if you can't tap a plug, you can still shim the spring, press the old cup back in and re-secure with the roll pin. Between raising the pressure on the spring, and porting the internal passages, you might get enough out of the stock sized pump. Even drilling the output hole larger might work as well. I didn't port mine, but I did shim the spring, and I did get more idle pressure.

Could make a longer spline to engage the pump? I know its not a bolt on piece with some extra work I think it will work

My durango hemi has been ticking for the past year and the engine is still running and preforming fine

Seams the lower tooth count on the up to 09 would lead to less preasure (lower relative RPM of the gear) but if the internal dimensions of the post 09 are the same it would move the same volume just at a higher preasure. Could that be designed in to accomodate the MDS oil preasure requirements?

would it be better/easier to modify the existing oil pump to fit the larger gears? i know that would still require it to be machined but i think that would be a better way of going about it since the inside only needs 2mm taken out and there is a ridge where you can remove the material. just a thought

Thank you for this video! Very intriguing analysis on oil pressure. My morning commute in Atlanta involves driving in stop--nd go traffic and I have a habit (bad one) of idling for an hour while I take lunch in my car. Are these two habits deal breakers on Hemi engines? I'm looking to get a new 6.7 or 6.4 Hemi Charger. Tired and bored of my Camry TBH!

The problem with the Hemi lifters is not lubrication. The problem is the type of honing process used to hone the bore in the roller in the roller lifter. This roller bore is the outer race of an assembled needle bearing. The metal surface of this bore in the roller fails due to the type of honing processed used. This then destroys the needles, causing the bearing to fail and it’s related cam lob to wear away. Historically the bores of these rollers have been honed with the conventional honing process (the same honing type that is used on engine cylinders). When I was made aware of the Hemi roller lifter/cam/lobe problem I acquired two roller lifters from a Chrysler dealership. Upon disassembly, the bore of the roller in the Hemi roller lifter has been single passed honed. This single pass honing has process characteristics that are not good for the race of a needle bearing. Single pass honing imparts many times greater machining stress into the surface of the bearing race and as imparts a surface finish lay that has the appearance of a very fine pitch thread. This greatly increased stress in the surface of the roller bore along with the surface interaction with the needles causes this surface to fail; surface cracking a spalling occurs which destroys the needles. This single pass honing process was chosen because the capital cost of the single pass honing system is approximately 1/3 of the cost of a conventional honing system to do the same bore as Single pass honing cost per bore has typically 20% compared to conventional honing process. Moving to single pass honing was a cost cutting attempt which has gone bad. My background is as BSME and 40 years of application experience at Sunnen Products Company, which approximately 20% of our business is engine components. My email is rmoellenberg@sunnen.com

The long awaited 6.2lt pump finally arrived (supply issues lol...) for my 09 Ram. A ready replaced cam lifters, machined heads, manifolds etc. Replacing timing chain, so also pump to upgrade. Compared the Hellcat to my original 5.7 pump, though Dodge had ripped me off because both pumps have same with pump gear width. So remembered you measured them. Both are 16mm wide. My truck was very early 09 production (#8**) . Suspect the first run was these pump then "down graded" for later production. Also compared to you latest vid with pressure tests. Mine is standard pressure. So, suspect the relief spring is the same as stock 5.7. Theoretically I should have still had higher volume. My #3 exhaust roller failed. Would run normally until under more than half load. Turns out the lifter turned 90 degrees, giving me a dead misfire, then straightened up after 10 seconds then drove normally. Very wierd. Vid shows how the cam wore. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fM2apKtymr-Wc4E.html

My 09 Ram 1500, I installed OEM 3/4 ton camshaft, Hellcat lifters, MDS delete, drilled head gasket oil holes out to .080”, installed shim in oil pump bypass spring, installed upgraded timing chain guide and run a stainless high flow oil filter. That was my fix, works great

Well I’m in this project neck deep now I got the Hellcat pump took it to weld shop to build up outlet boss and she has been milled back 12mm it looks good hope it fits

Could you do the same thing with the melling high performance pumps? I just put one on my 2006 r/t that I also stroked to a forged 392 since I spun a bearing and had to rebuild it. I put the high pressure spring in to prevent another rebuild from possible oiling issue.

so I've been watching your videos to help me reassemble my 06 charger rt motor. took it out and gave slowly rebuilding it. slowly due to health issues. but I'm getting ready to put back in. my question is, is it hard to put in with the heads etc on the block as far as connecting to trans and all the wires or its pretty possible?

Might be worth noting that in some ways there are two variations of the VVT motors. The 09 and 10 motors use a different pulley offset than the 11+ motors so the water pump and harmonic balancers are different between those years. The interesting thing is, it appears things like the power steering pump cross the boundary of VVT and non-VVT so it is possible that the 09/10 Eagle motors use the same pulley offset as the 08 and down motors. Could be that an 09 harmonic balancer on an 06 motor would only require the crank sprocket modification and remove the need to modify the 06 balancer to fit the HC oil pump.

i wonder if there is a difference on a smaller scale through the generation years of the trucks or chargers as they have been using these motors the longest... the 3 you showed in itself is proof that dodge was trying to fix the problem behind the scenes... which makes me hopeful for my 2021 to not experience this problem... im only at 12k miles now but as it is i never idle long i change my oil every 4-5k miles and im always in Sport mode to disable my variable valve timing as there is a theory that killing cylinders off may cause this issue to happen sooner...

I ordered the melling high volume pump for my 15 ram . They sent a pre vvt pump . The length of the pump gear on the crank snout prevents the mounting cast from reaching one another. There was about a half inch gap between the output port on the pump and the mounting surface on the block. The pre vvt pumps absolutely will not fit on a vvt hemi

Maybe you can consider making a video about installing oil radiator in 5.7. In fact there is no oil radiator. The engine temp is pretty high and get really high after few mins of pushing it. I did install aftermarket oil heater and it improves engine temp performance dramatically. But im thinking if this is possible to add OEM oil radiator that is probably installed on 6.4/6.2

🤣😂 I was really excited to see it fit

Love the series! Do you think that Synthetic oil would help? my 6.4L Challenger requires it and I was wondering if there was a connection.

I've always looked at the trucks being more of a pain to remove the oil pan then the cars. In the cars you can use a fender well hoist and just drop the subframe in the trucks it's literally just a frame to deal with lifting the powerplant up enough to allow the oil pan to clear is an issue with a "full framed" vehicle. It takes no time to remove a subframe but an actual frame requires you to work around it but this is obviously just my opinion.
