I think everyone who’s engine failed because of a cylinder deactivation system destroyed it, should join together and class action suit the automakers, with a requirement for a full recall and deletion of this wholly unnecessary system that only causes premature, catastrophic failure of the engine.

Welcome aboard!

Make sure to use the Isky bushing type lifters and a Melling HV or Hellcat oil pump! This also happens on the non-MDS engines due to piss poor oil volume! I’m on my 4th set. Last time lost the cam and spun a cam bearing. Took the opportunity to go to a 426 with the Isky lifters and a Melling HV pump! Now has 47psi at idle at operating temp compared to the stock mopars 23 psi!

That shop is amazing! The body lifts off the chassis and stores at the ceiling and there is still plenty of head space to work underneath it! Brilliant

I did IT for a chrysler dealership and I was in the shop talking with the A-techs all of the time because they're ALWAYS tearing apart HEMIs. Despite popular belief of Displacement-on-Demand destroying HEMI lifters & cams due to it being a culprit for GM V8s, MDS isn't the issue here. MDS lifters aren't even the lifters that typically fail on the HEMI. The problem comes from a major design flaw from Chrysler where oil flowing from the cylinder heads back down through the block does NOT lubricate the camshaft at low-RPM. GM's AFM/DFM system takes 80,000-100,000 miles to do this kind of damage, yet you're showing us brand new lifters & a cam that failed and blaming it on cylinder deactivation. This kind of damage is probably from the owner constantly leaving his car idling for a long time whenever he parks it. No amount of good maintenance nor a DoD delete will stop a HEMI from blowing itself up if that's how the owner likes to treat his car.

Low quality oil should realistically not stay in the engine past 2000 miles.. it's not rocket science.

Lack of oil changes is a big cause of AFM lifter failures. I work with a lot of guys that own 2014+ GM half tons with AFM. None of them have disabled it yet a few of them have over 200k miles. The biggest thing that they have in common is that they're old and they change their oil a lot. Like every 3000 or 4000 miles. They don't care what the 0w20 label claims, they change their oil very often. Makes sense. Especially with direction injection and the diesel-like soot it generates. Abrasive soot flow right through the oil filter. They also are not the type that remote starts their truck over and over every morning just to drive a few miles to work.

I have done a dozen of the 5.7 and 6.4 or more for lifter failure. Its mostly on cylinder 3, and i found that odd. Its NEVER been an MDS lifter on any i have done. So thats not the problem. The MDS cylinders are 1,4,6,7. Now the Chevrolet is ALWAYS an AFM lifter. The pinlocks fail and the lifter stays collapsed, then the pushrod pops out and the lifter gets hammered until it spins and eats the camshaft. I have done over a dozen of these engines as well. The deactivated cylinders is also 1,4,6,7. Thats the 2 inside cylinders on one side and the 2 outside on the other side for balance.

Given the quality of work you guys do, it blows my mind how you guys never have gloves on.

I remember when my srt grand Cherokee ate a lifter, the dealer did a cam and lifter instal and I specifically said I want a NEW motor, long story short, the gave it back to me and in 500 mile it had a lifter noise, well I proceeded to drive it so hard that the damage was beyond repair and I got a new motor out of it and the dealer paid for it. I have to say, they could have saved themselves 9k because my new 6.4 motor is 10k they spent 8+ on a top end rebuild.

It's known that the 3rd gen hemi engines have oil starvation when ppl idle their engines for long periods of time. Fleet vehicles are more known to happen the fix is replace the oil pump with a hellcat oil pump for more volume. Mds is not the problem they are just more susceptible to fail first.

Its important to really keep intake manifolds clean or atleast check it out before you throw it back together!

Cylinder delete was a bad idea from caddilac's first try in the 70s and 80s. Chrysler has enough problems with cams and lifters........ without variable displacement gear!!

In hemi engines, the only time the MDS lifters get oil is when MDS is activated. All other times, they are starved for oil, which is what casues them to fail.

@TheNugler

2 ай бұрын

Thats not true

Love this channel well informative and love how they do all in-house work themselves. As a mechanic myself Dave is as solid is they get!

You are completely right about those multi displacement engines MDS they’re called on the hemi’s . The thing is is if your engine eats a lifter, you have to tear the engine apart to clean it. You can’t just leave all the debris in there like that it’s gonna eat another lifter. I think the other thing is also is there’s low oil pressure when the engine is running at idle it’s not sufficient enough to get all that oil up to the head when the multi displacement MDS drops you down to four cylinders those lifters are still smacking. A few guys have gone and put the hellephant engine oil pump in the 5.7 and change out that mds lifter and system . But not all engines are doing this just the ones that sit ant low rpm lots it starve of oil because of the oil pumps that’s what I think

The weird thing is that the 5.7 hemis from 2005 thru 2010 had MDS and lifter failure was not an issue. When they added variable cam timing in 2011 the lifter issue rose its ugly head. They also had about 50 more hp so that proabably meant higher lift cams that may have started the lifter failure due to stronger valve springs. The early hemis did have a potential problem with valve seats dropping which was fixed in the later models. I bought a new 2005 Dodge Magnum with the 5.7 hemi and I loved that car. It was roomy comfortable and fun to drive due to the hp/torque of that engine. I sold it last year 2023 with 120k miles on it.

i love the work you guys do. Im currently in trade school to become a technician and this channel inspires me when things get tough! love you guys!!!!

I wish I was 40 years younger. As a retired qualified artisan in motor vehicle technology, I would have taken a wild card and asked you for a job. I still enjoy doing repairs but only smaller stuff. I think it is the most enjoyable trade ever!!

Wow this thing took out the whole motor, that’s crazy I know once a rocker arm blows those little needler bearings are bad. Usually I see just a lifter gets stuck and eats a cam journal. You machining everything and making sure it’s right from the start, wow speaks volumes great video

Hey Dave, I've got the same motor in the same type of car. I just wanted to give my two cents on the big reason these hemis fail. The 5.7L specifically was built for lower hp when it first came out and oiled well for that application, but it was upgraded all except the oil pump into the chargers, challengers, 300s, durangos, and newer rams. The cylinder deactivation isn't the big killer of these engines, but rather the piss poor stock oil pump that gets around 9 to 14 psi of oil pressure at idle with warm oil. Idling at operating temps can damage these engines, thus, personally, I would offer a recommendation for a Mellings Oil pump, which has had extensive research on it to increase oil pressure by some amazing creators on this site. Just my two cents, great video and I love learning more about all types of engines, especially the one I have

Awesome shop Dave! Wish I lived in your area, would love to work there man, you have no idea! Great work, great job, you guys are precise to every single little detail. Love that man. You guys have the respect of millions!! Need more Dave’s in this world. And his team!! 🎯

A great looking engine machine shop and like the fact that you have to completely fix the problem or suffer the consequence.

Recently found gour. Channel sir.i am Jamaican and i love how knowledgeable you are sir..i wish for you and your team good health and Long life.🙌

As a wee lad back in the day, when I first started buying tools and twirling spanners on my first car. My father said to me 'cry once'. Don't half do a half-arsed repair, because you'll only cry again when the repair fails and you have to do it again, properly. This is a prime example. I'm 60 now, he's 85, and all he does now is accuse me of being too pedantic 😅. The Hemi sounds awesome. I owned Chryslers for 20 yrs until Chrysler Australia folded. Dodge and Jeep are back here now, I wish the Chargers and the Challengers were. Great vid. You guys make it look all too easy. 👍🇦🇺
