[QUOTE="ndfinfan, post: 177956, member: 2279"] Just checked with my buddy who has a lot of experience with Dodge motors...his response: "I would pull the valve cover, rotate the engine by hand and measure the valve travel (easy to do) will verify if the problem is in the cam or lifter (You can compare travel with another cylinder). Once determined and repaired change oil. Dodge has a sensor on some of there models that will act up and cause problems if you use anything other than the recommend oil viscosity (normally 5W20) adding seafoam will change the viscosity. I would find another shop, you should be able to buy quality aftermarket cam, lifters and timing components for under $200.00. Would have to check flat rate manual but most V8 Cam jobs are 6-10 hrs. That would make their labor rate over $300 per hr" [/QUOTE]
