Hey, good day. I have the truck listed above 1500 single cab short bed with a hemi in it. It’s my pride and joy. A couple months ago, during march specifically, I replaced the lifters and cam since it had the famous “hemi tick”, both of them were terrible but I changed it all new, and obviously all new gaskets, cleaned the surfaces up a little, new pushrods, new oil pump, new timing chain, new water pump, new timing chain tensioner and guide, and I replaced most of the pulleys too! And I also blew air with my compressor through the bolt holes on the block to blow out any dirt or water/coolant. I made sure everything seemed good and great. Once I turned it on after the job, and after breaking into it, it still kept ticking except even louder. So, after a couple weeks of it driving me nuts, I opened it up again in the first week of April. I checked absolutely everything. Lifters were in perfect shape and so was the camshaft. I replaced every gasket obviously, and I made sure everything was perfect and everything was good. I turn it on again and it still kept ticking the same. And now it’s June and I want to open it up again and this time make the sound go away. But I don’t know what it is. But whenever I go above 20 mph or so and the “Eco” mode turns on (MDS I believe) the ticking goes away, and it sounds quiet and smooth but then I slow down and it starts ticking again. I get around 30+ psi on the oil pump and all fluids are changed properly. I don’t idle the truck much either. I genuinely need some help. The crankshaft pulley does seem to wobble just a tad bit, but I don’t think that explains the reason why it stops ticking when it enters Eco mode. I don’t know, it’s driving me insane. I don’t know if I should replace the oil pump for a hellcat one as well as the lifters for hellcat lifters, which I have no clue if the will both fit in directly. Does anyone know why my engine is doing this? Do I need to clean up the oil galleries? Like I said, I have good oil pressure but I don’t know. Is it the crank pulley? If anyone knows why this is happened may you please tell me what it is or how to fix it. Send a video or recommend a YouTube video or something, I'm desperate at this point. Please help. Thank you for your time.
