What are the updates to the 5.7 Hemi engine?

A few notable updates to the 5.7 HEMI include: Variable Camshaft Timing is Chryslers terminology for variable valve timing. This allows the engine to advance or retard cam timing for optimal performance at all RPM’s. The 5.7 HEMI cylinder head is also re-worked to improve flow. Intake manifolds receive an update, too.

Is the tick on the 345 Hemi engine normal?

Ticking on the 345 HEMI is an interesting discussion for a few reasons. Some claim the ticking is normal and doesn’t affect longevity or performance. However, engine ticks have led to other 5.7L HEMI owners replacing their entire engine. What are the potential common causes of 5.7 HEMI ticking?

Why does my Hemi engine turn off 4 cylinders?
