Consumer Description

THE VALVE SPRINGS IN THE COMPRESSION CHAMBERS GO. AS YOU ARE DRIVING YOU SUDDENLY LOSE POWER AND COMPRESSION IS GONE, I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TWICE NOW WITH 2 CHAMBERS EACH TIME BEING GONE. IT IS A SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION. AS I OW LOOK TO REPLACE THE ENGINE AFTER THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, WHAT I AM DISCOVERING IS THAT THE ENGINES AVAILABLE ARE AVAILABLE BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY WIDESPREAD ISSUE ON THIS 5.7 LITRE, HEMI ENGINE. *TR
