Most common problems:

Oil consumption

V8 engines, especially performance ones like the SRT HEMI, are known to consume more oil, leading to frequent top-ups and potential engine damage if not monitored.

Hemi tick

The "Hemi Tick" is a common ticking noise in HEMI engines, often due to lifter issues, which can lead to more serious damage if left unaddressed.

Cooling system failures

The cooling systems in these engines can sometimes fail, leading to overheating issues which could cause significant engine damage.

Spark plug wear

High-performance V8 engines like the SRT HEMI often experience faster spark plug wear, necessitating more frequent replacements.

Fuel economy

V8 engines are typically less fuel-efficient, and owners may find the fuel costs higher than expected.

Exhaust manifold bolts

These bolts are known to break, causing exhaust leaks and potentially damaging the engine's performance.

Valve seat issues

HEMI engines can sometimes have problems with valve seats dropping, leading to engine misfires and potential damage.

Timing chain problems

Some V8 engines can suffer from timing chain issues, which can cause significant engine damage if the chain breaks or slips.
