just took my truck in and they tell me I droped a valve seat. Is this common?

 

first time that I have ever heard of the seat dropping

 

Just pulled the valve cover and the #1 exhaust valve is not seating, anything else that might cause that? and what is the possibility of getting that covered under warranty?

 

If you start taking apart your engine yourself, I am pretty sure you are gonna get some static on warranty. I heard there was valve spring problems when the first hemi s came out but I am sure they beefed them up or not?

 

Took a closer look and found a broken valve spring, imagine that! The amazing thing is that I'm finding out through the WEB that I'm not the only one. I just suppose that this is the fine quality product that dodge is putting out these day's and apparently wont stand behind it. Maybe it's another fine quality made china product?https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/mad.gif

 

These are a nice upgrade, reasonably priced as well

If you want to replace a single spring, let me know, I have a couple of sets laying around

 

Quality parts from vendors is an industry wide problem, not just a Dodge problem. The Dodge's have their quirks, just like any other brand. Ask GM about injector and valve train problems or Ford guys about spark plug and cylinder head problems. Toyota's eat cam shafts, They all have problems. Just be glad it is a small problem and not something major.

 

Picked some up at the dealer, they have a metal sleeve around the bottom of the spring? know anything about that?

 

At least the valve didn't drop and smack the piston. That would be costly!!

Probably an upgraded spring. I would replace them all!!

 

Yes, those with the delfection cup are upgraded springs installed in late 04' and up to prevent coil bind that was causing the broken springs
