- 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

I was driving to the store to do some grocery shopping. I went in for 35min, finished with my shopping and got on in my car. I start the car and it doesn't start at all. All I hear is loud and weird noises coming from the engine. Guess what...I had to tow my car home. Talked to my own mechanic about the problem. He said it might need a new engine, few valves or pistons broken. He check the oil and coolant on my car and everything is fine he said, good oil and has coolant. So I don't know exactly how my engine got messed up. I have heard from many mechanics about this. Dodge engines are not great at all due to premature failure on the engine. So please don't buy a Dodge Charger, it will give you a lot of problems. Stay away from this engine.
