I see people buying unrepresented. Buyer's agents hardly do anything compared to selling agents. At least they have several expenses like photos, staging, etc. But the fees across the industry are downright atrocious and I'm glad this is happening.

I don’t think there is. I see the same pressures at higher RPMs between my 5.7 and 6.2. Idle pressures are a different story.

Does it flash a code on the unit when this happens? Usually does.

Both my 6.2 and 5.7 have the same temps....hovered around 220 once fully warmed up and driven normally for a while. The 6.2 saw 250 at times when driven hard. Don't really drive my 5.7 hard like the 6.2.

This is good reading for our engine builders and tuners community.

Then why is the oil pump different on the 6.2?

If what you say is true, think about it like this. The Hellcat motor uses the same exact lifters as the 5.7 and 6.4. Why do the 5.7 and 6.4 fail so much more?

A lot more than than a small pulley and a tune. The 6.2 can’t make 300 off of that. Lol. Injectors, pump, lower, interchiller, ported bearing plate, 108mm snout and TB, cat deletes, and others. I’m not worried about my 6.2 chewing a cam; they simply don’t have that problem….because why? You...

You don't hear about FCA lifters failing at 3K or less like GM does. That's the difference. 5.7 and 6.4 Hemis eat cams due to excessive idling and they exhibit these failures after some time of engine usage. This is documented and proven. Sure there are a few isolated cases of early on lifter...

I’ll just agree to disagree with you on this. GM and Ford failures have nothing to do with this conversation. There’s tons of reputable hemi builders that have the same beliefs I do. I’ve been in the hemi game for a while. Take this video, for example:

I was able to squeeze about 300 more hp out of my 6.2L with no mods to the engine internals. Reliably as well. We’ll know the limits of the RHO engine soon enough. Lol

That is true for the 5.7 and 6.4; both eat cams with what appears to be low oil pressure and flow. The 6.2 does not have this problem. It also has a higher volume oil pump.

Interesting. Seeing how the main bearings are the same, I'm guessing the HO version has maybe forged components? Or maybe the stroke is slightly less or longer?

He talks about oil around 22:20. Amongst other things, he talks about the normal Hurricane calling for 0W-20 and the High Output calling for 0W-40 when both engines are essentially identical. Makes me even lean more to filling my '23 Ram 5.7 with 5W-30 instead of 0W-20 that it calls for...

Yeah thats why I stated 0W-20. OP lives in USA, correct?
