- Dropped Valve Seat Issue - Seems many of the symptoms and problems in these comments are associated to dropped valve seats. Looks like it was/is a very common issue on the 5.7l Hemi design. LXFORUMS, as seen in the search results, has many of users with the same issues. There you can find valuable tips and even some answers to your issues. I own a 6.1 Charger myself and and these engines do indeed put out a lot of heat which seems to cause issues more-so on the 5.7 design. Regards and luck to all

Stopped at Wal-Mart on the way home from work. Went inside and came back out and started the car. Car was sounding funny so I cut off, did it a second time and same results, did it a third time and it wouldn't start. Had it towed home then I had it towed to a mechanic's shop the next morning. Here is his diagnostics: " We found major internal damage to number four piston, (second cylinder on passenger side of engine) it had no compression and using a borescope, we looked into the cylinder and saw that the piston was broken and sticking up into the combustion chamber. The only way this is possible is if the rod or piston actually broken in half." "We recommend removal of the engine, tear down to determine if this engine can be repaired or if it will be required to replace the entire assembly. Best case scenario estimate is 3,000.00.... Worst case if it needs new motor, 5500.00"... Got regular oil changes, used fully synthetic oil only and just had an engine flush 2 months ago.... Don't understand why and how this happened....
