My motor is making a noise and I can't figure out what it is, its an 04 hemi. I need help figuring out what it is. It might be the hemi tick and just need new lifters and springs but I'm not 100% sure.What are your thoughts? Im posting a link to the video I posted on youtube.

 

Sounds like lifter tick. How's the oil level and condition? What oil do you run? How many miles?

 

Oil level is normal (just changed it myself), I just switched to Royal purple about 1500 miles ago w/ a RP oil filter, theres 128632 miles I believe

 

What grade oil? That video isn't very clear, but it sounds like a lifter noise, in which case springs are not needed, but a good idea. A lot of Hemis make a little noise, nothing to worry about, they are also well-known to have broken exhaust manifold studs,Mohicans cause an exhaust leak at the manifold where it meets the head.

 

Hate it when the Mohicans mess with my exhaust.

 

10W40, my iPhone 5 doesn't take as clear of a video as the newer iPhone 6 but I'm not paying $775+ for a phone, rather spend the money on my truck

 

Why 10/40?

 

Was it making the noise before switching RP?

Yes it was, it wasn't making it near as bad until about 4000-5000 miles ago then it got twice as noisy. I switched to RP about 1500 miles ago or so. Also the noise gets quicker the higher the RPM's. It kind of sounds like a sewing machine in a way….best way i can describe it

 

Exhaust leak ? Passenger exhaust manifold. Look for broken bolts.
