Engine noise-Hemi

Do late model Hemi's have a slight ticking sound at idle. Sounds something like a lifer but not exactly.

Yes, the Hemi Tick is a well known thing for these engines. Sometimes when I'm next to a concrete wall, the echo from my engine almost makes it sound like a diesel. I like the sound.

I use Royal Purple, and it didn't get rid of the tick, but it definitely quieted it down significantly.
