Buying a Magnum, What do I Look for?

On the valve seat, do you (or anyone else) know if that's an early 5.7 problem? I was reading that they updated the engine in 09 with variable cam timing and modified the heads, and I've heard it's not uncommon for them to drop valve seats, which I would really like to avoid. So if I can't find a Magnum, I'm leaning towards an 09 or later Charger because of the updated engine.

After I test drove a Charger, I was in love. It's as easy to drive and keep lane center in as my mom's Jetta, but it feels much more solid and obviously it just makes great power. Definitely excited to get into the LX platform.

The 09 and later HEMIs have what are called Eagle heads. I don't think I've really heard of the valve seat problem in those, but I would look more into it. But if you can, a 09 or later would be preferable for sure! In 2013, they also upped the HP lol. ;)
