After 270k miles my 5.7 hemi bit the dust because of a blown radiator hose. I have decided to put a new engine in it but I wanted to prevent the hemi tick I was wondering if a higher end oil pump would help and if so do y'all have recommendations on which one. Also if you have any other tips for parts I should replace that would be much appreciated as I am trying to bullet proof this engine. Thank yall.

 

Installing a new one? Or used? MDS or no?

 

If you have a 3rd gen, avoid aftermarket parts as much as possible and learn to deal with it lol. They tick; 3G engines don't suffer the lifter issue (stay off facebook groups). Just make sure your cylinder heads have been gone over to ensure the seats won't drop if it gets too hot. If you have a 4th gen then you're in the wrong place.
