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.
Yes it does make sense. In some ways I wish it was oil starvation to one or two lifters and additional oiling passages could be added aftermarket blocks. I want to hang on to my '10 till the end and building off a new block would definitely be an option. Right now I think very frequent oil changes are best idea in keeping my stock one going.
