Is your 5.7L HEMI engine suffering from the infamous "HEMI Tick", dropping oil pressure, or throwing P0300 misfire codes? A ticking HEMI often means collapsed lifters and a scored camshaft, but when you're tearing down the engine, it's critical to replace the aging timing and lubrication components too. Address diagnosed valvetrain, timing and lubrication component wear with our Ultimate Master Overhaul Solution.
Unlike standard cam-and-lifter packages, this professional-grade master bundle includes absolutely everything needed for a complete top-end and front-end restoration. It features the precision-ground Camshaft (OE: 53022263AF), all 4 Valve Tappet Sets, a complete Timing Chain Kit, and the VVT Cam Gear. To guarantee long-lasting performance, we’ve also integrated a brand-new Oil Pump, Water Pump, and Oil Pan Kit to solve any cooling or lubrication issues.
Complete with a premium MLS Overhaul Gasket Set, high-strength TTY Head Bolts, and the essential Exhaust Pipe Bolts, this kit ensures a leak-free, factory-spec repair. Engineered specifically for 2009-2020 Dodge Ram 1500 (VIN: T) models, this is the definitive "all-in-one" package to fix the tick, clear the codes, and restore your V8's true pulling power.

The "Hemi Tick"
is a ticking time bomb.
That annoying idle noise isn't just annoying — it's the sound of metal destroying metal. Here's what's actually happening.
Do It Once. Do It Right.
Tap the dots to see why a partial repair is a $1,000 mistake.
Scored Camshaft
A seized lifter instantly grinds down the cam lobe, destroying its hardened surface.
Mixing a worn cam with new lifters guarantees instant repeat failure. Replace it.
MDS Bearings
Oil starvation seizes the lifter roller bearings. This causes the infamous Hemi Tick.
Replace all 16 lifters simultaneously to ensure perfectly balanced valvetrain oil pressure.
One-Time Seals
Accessing lifters requires removing cylinder heads. You must use fresh seals and gaskets.
Gaskets crush permanently when installed. Reusing them guarantees immediate compression leaks.
Yield Bolts
Factory head bolts stretch permanently when torqued down. They are one-time use only.
Reusing old bolts guarantees a blown head gasket and lost engine compression.
Oil & Timing
Low oil pressure kills HEMI engines. Worn pumps cannot prevent future lifter failures.
Replacing the pump now saves over $1,000 in future teardown labor costs.
Trust the process.
