What makes the 5.7 hemi look like two V4 engines back to back

I have a question I have a 2004 dodge 1500 hemi will pistons from a 5.7 2009-2021 fit in the engine due to the compression being 10:5-1 on the newer engine and the older being 9:5-1

@RacingRamFam

Nope.

My 2006 ram procharged ram spun a rod bearing. Currently there isn’t any rebuild(forged) engine offered. I might have to rebuild myself considering a lot of machine shops are not taking any work because they’re backed up. Crazy times we’re living. Bores look good. I plan on going forged Manley stuff. Are installing forged units more complicated than a regular rebuild? I am comfident on doing it myself just want to make sure if I’m going to spend $4k in parts I don’t destroy motor.

@RacingRamFam

Not more complicated but you do have to get your rotating assembly balance if you change from factory rods and pistons

What is dis.of piston

I just dissambled a 2017 5.7 hemi, the connecting rods were not installed with the printed letters opposite of the arrow... as a matter of fact, they, "digital print" was randomly facing. So, I am installing the wrist pins for this and just make sure that the digital print is facing the opposite way of the arrow on the piston right?

@@RacingRamFam I checked about this and it does have one side that is offset and thicker at the crank and that thicker side faces outward toward the crank. So piston 1 has the thick bevel facing forward then piston 2 will be back, 3 forward, 4, rear. Thank you for your reply, I am just trying to make it through this build and not eat a rod or blow my money.

I'm going to try it right now I can actually even cut the Piston off because all I need is the rod but I'm not going to do that I'm going to try to use my ball joint press and a torch

So I just want to point out and im not bashing this video at all but a warning when you said that the writing on the rod goes to the opeset of the arrow on the piston that this is not the case on my hemi and I followed your video and ended up having to push them all back out and put thenm in the right way facing to the front just thought I'd let you guys and other people know that might use this video for a reference that it is different on some hemi's thanks for the video

I looked for the link on the dnj pistons can't find them. What's so special about these pistons compared to the stock replacement? The pistons on the newer 5.7 are all the same all that changes is the heads and the squish area that's why compression bumps up eagle heads compared to earlier models. I'm gunna be running 6.1 heads with a home made 5 layer mls from the stock gasket it works they say. But my question stands what's the difference in the pistons

I have a 2011 ram 5.7 hemi st the engine was sitting in the rain so the Cylinder walls got rusty i tried honing but it to far gone so I was thinking of boring it over to fit a 0.020 over pistons the question is can i keep the same 5.7 crank along with the stock camshaft lifters I'm not looking for more power then it already has stock i seen people put 6.1 crank when they go oversized to 0.020 i cant return the 5.7 crank i bought so thats why i was wondering

The piston wrist pin hole is offset from factory that’s why there’s a arrow on all the pistons.
