5.7 Hemi dealer says needs cam and rockers on driver

Parts where 2500 and rest was labor. I told my sister in law to buy a long block and gasket kit, shipping and core charge $3800. I’ll replace it, she pays the core charge and I keep the motor and have it for a backup for when my 5.7 goes out in my Barracuda

I agree that would be the best thing to do. You might get away with just replacing the cam and lifters but the mds solenoids and vvt solenoids all have fine mesh screens inside that could be plugged up with fine metal debris from the wrecked cam. Not to mention what could have gone through the oil pump,cam and crank bearings.RJ
