After further investigation on my 04 Hemi Ram, I believe I do indeed have a collapsed exhaust lifter on cylinder #2, I can't shore up the play in the rocker by neither re-torqueing, or replacing pushrods or rocker shaft assembly so the play must be in the lifter.


I've come to grips that I've got to pull the heads & replace the lifters, what brand of lifters are proven to be good in these engines? I don't want to be replacing them again.


Also what brand of 6.1 Exhaust valve springs & push rods would you guys recommend?


I figure if I'm replacing the lifters, I mine as well replace the valve springs as well.

 

OEM all around.
