Where does the oil come from in a Chrysler 5L Hemi?

Why did Chrysler add variable valve timing to the Hemi engine?

That’s probably why the MDS system has been so successful and trouble-free in these engines, but the original block wasn’t designed to include the variable valve timing ( VVT) that was the next step up in technology, so Chrysler had to redesign the block in order to update the engine in ’09.

Where is the VVT groove on a hemi engine?
