A couple used engines near me, 09 ram shortblock with a 'bad cam' 11 car longblock with 'bad lifters'
Supposedly no junk in the oil, what could be wrong yet not catastrophic in these engines or no such thing they're just cores to be rebuilt?

If you can't dismantle to inspect, best to assume it's a rebuilder. The one i got with one lobe gone, you could almost clean and re-assemble, if you were on a super budget. I found a heap of metallic paste on the magnetic part of the MDS solenoids : so you want to make sure to remove and inspect them.

yes MDS and VVT. What's a good core price on a short and then longblock? between the 2 I think there's only 1 set of rockers, valve covers, manifolds, etc.

the lifter quits rolling and destroys the cam on 09+ 5.7. I have seen them where they go bad and everything else looks new inside, bearings, bores everything.

well the lowest miles I seen a lifter go bad was 120,000 (typical between 150,000 and 200,000 and as high as 270,000 on original lifters), I figure if it lasts another 120,000 minimum then I done all right. The dodge dealer told me all the part numbers are the same now for 6.4 6.1 and 5.7 without any other way to know what is best that personal experience is all I got to go on.

well, if Dave's data holds, what aftermarket lifter has as many road miles tested?

I just talked to Isky about the solid rollers in my race car, bearing ones are $900.00, bushed ones are $1250.00. Claim is 30-50% more life expectancy in bushed ones in my application. You have to decide from there. Those were Red Zones, also. Jim
