I didn`t catch the switch to hemi engines in the thread, but had two of them. Totally depended on the owner. NONE OF WHAT U POSTED IS (WAS) applicable ON MINE ! We did have to keep the valves adjusted regularly tho. And an MSD ignition helped a bunch. A distant cousin, was a test driver for the 426 hemi engines back when they were first produced. He said they were very reliable almost couldn`t break a stock street hemi , and would wear a set of rear tires out every 8 hr. shift . Said it got boring , day after day flogging them !!
