I was looking at building a parts list for an engine rebuild. Does anyone know does the 99 Durango SLT 5.2L Magnum engine use Roller or Traditional (Flat Bottom) Valve Lifters?

Thanks

 

all magnum engines use roller lifters-unless something really went wrong,you should be able to re-use your cam and lifters-roller cams don't wear out.if you had some lifter noise at first start with it(which Chrysler is famous for)it means a check valve in one of them is not seating-you can take them apart and clean the crap out of them and usually fix the problem-also,spin each roller by hand and check for roughness,if it's rough replace it.

 

Thank you... Is it true that I've read that this 1st Generation Durango (apologies for posting to the wrong area of the Forum), does not have adjustable rocker arms? I believe it's Cylinder 3, with as you mentioned, the classic knock when it's cold. Then after a few minutes it warms up and the knock goes away. I appreciate the knowledge and advice shared on this forum, thanks.

 

correct-these rockers are "pedestal mount" and are not adjustable.
