If you want to see how I diagnosed this issue, check out my other video on why hemi engines fail. You can find the video here:

This vehicle took many hours to repair, and the filming and editing also took several hours. My goal was to create a start-to-finish video in which I could document every step of this repair while also maintaining a reasonable length video. Therefore, I do not expound in detail on every step, but instead decided to take an overview approach. That way, someone who is interested in this type of repair can see what is involved and how to fix it without becoming overly bored and having to watch hours of multi-part videos. As a result, this video is intended mainly for entertainment as opposed to being a step-by-step repair guide, although you could probably use this video to guide you if you decide to tackle this job yourself.
In this video you will find:
1. An overview of nearly every step involved in the repair
2. Torque specs
3. A close up view of the failed lifters and damaged camshaft
4. All parts needed to make this repair are mentioned throughout

Welp that makes up my mind. Im just old enough, and have enough money to say "scew this, Ill pay someone to do it". Ill work all day long on my 87 W150 with the built 360LA motor all day long. Love that truck, simple naturally asperated with hotrod Ron Francis wire kit. Boy the good old times.
Great info in video, im doing my cam lifters timing oil and water on my 2014 5.7 hemi with 74000mi and from what i read is normal worst thing for me was getting the har balancer off lifters seemed fine but going to replace them and a couple of bent push rods so far ill have cam out tomorrow hopefully lol
its actually easier to pull the engine and do it out of the truck on a stand. it only takes a few hours to pull the engine.
Great video, how do I get in contact with you I have same problem with my 2011 dodge ram
Great video! My 2012 Jeep grand Cherokee has a cylinder 2 misfire. The SUV ran decent, took it to a mechanic, he found a bad hydraulic lifter, replaced it. Now the truck doesn’t even run, it starts but is not stable. Is this normal could the engine be damaged? It was running before. Do you think the camshaft needs replacing or did he just not assemble it right? Any thoughts?
Great video. I wish I saw this 3 years ago when I did mine.
I wish I had you close. Mine just went on my 2014 Ram and they want 7k to fix it…
It's gonna fail again, where did all that metal end up??
Why wouldn’t you wash the engine first so you don’t have to work in all that grime and dirt, just asking for a friend lol
How long does a job like this take ?
How did you hold the crankshaft when you torqued it
Great video thanks for uploading your the best..
Excellent video. Now I know why the dealer wanted $6000 for that repair on my 2015 5.7. Decided to trade it in and buy a new car.
How long does that job take? I’ve been waiting a month to get mine back. I took it in to have the head gasket replaced on the passenger side due to it leaking. Then I got it back after that and the lifters on the passenger side started failing.
amazing directions!
Great video!! Thank you for taking the time to put this all together. I'm getting ready to do this to mine. I'm hesitant to use OEM lifters since this is what failed in the first place. Are you confident that these will last any longer than the originals?
Question… what was the total on all parts and labors? Just want to know if its worth fixing or just buy a new truck…. please let me know i really like my ram truck
Ok, if I couldn't mistaken, the difference between the lifters are because the jammed one is a regular one and the other is the meds kind, look the same but they aren't. In other words the damaged ones are the regular that means the meds help some way prevent more damaged.
I am getting ready to do this same job as well as fix my grenaded timing components as well and would appreciate a tool list of stuff I need that isn’t normal sockets and wrenches and such
This saves so much money if you have tools and some knowledge bout cars lbs
Would that cause a misfire I've replaced both spark pugs a coil on cylinder 2 and still a misfire so Would a bad lifter cause it to misfire ?
The fix is better than the dang truck and traffic tires and gas thanks for showing
How do you know your cam bearings are still good?
So is this a problem with the lifter itself , or is it a lack of lubrication problem. Why do these lifters do this?
Notice the clutch fan. Its reverse threads.
Amazing video. How did you torque the camshaft bolt without having the crankshaft turn?
Whit is the price you should pay for this job ?
Did you seriously not put a hellcat oil pump in that thing when you already had it off?!
