larrympar360,

If I am reading this right, I believe HotRodDave is saying that it is not an oiling issue. If there was, then the 03-08 hemi would have the same problem since the oiling system is the same. This makes sense to me as well. Another possible contributor could be weak or too stiff valve springs. There were some issues with valve spring breakage for a while. The Eagle 5.7 has a more aggressive cam compared to the early hemi and had a different spring. Just another variable to add to the mix.
