Common Issues with the Dodge 5.7L Hemi Engine
Factory engine issues
The Dodge 5.7L Hemi Engine is known for its impressive horsepower and efficiency. However, certain factory flaws can lead to frustrating and expensive problems:
The Dreaded "Hemi Tick"
Often caused by failing MDS lifters, broken valve springs, or exhaust leaks.
Misfires
Causes a noticeable rough running or shaking sensation in the engine.
Timing Chain Guide Failure
The factory timing and chain guides were plastic and could become brittle and break over time.
Dropped Valve Seats
Early models had insufficient crush on valve seats, leading to dislodged seats and catastrophic engine failure.
Head Gasket Failures
Stock head gaskets can wear out prematurely, leading to overheating and engine damage.
Piston Scuffing & Wear
Factory pistons may develop excessive wear, reducing efficiency and longevity.
