Clearly no combustion on four cylinders.... Mike's running his economy car....    Bet it's gonna be a whole new/different experience on eight cylinders..

I'll start the tuning process over as my AFR was correct, but was averaging two cylinders dumping fuel and two running very lean.

It will be a whole new engine. Again.

Yeah, true no economy mode cause the injectors were still firing...... With the stock computer the injectors for those four cylinders get shut off, not the case with your M/S system...   Tuning was not an option... There's always gotta be a glitch.. Hopefully it goes back together without to much visible effect to the engine paint... I always hate tearing into a fresh car....

What a drag! So to change the lifters in these new gen Hemi's you need to pull the heads?

Stuff happens, it's not an expensive or catastrophic failure, just inconvenient and a week of downtime.

Heads are back on. It'll be buttoned up late tonight and fire tomorrow. 🤞

Assuming all goes well, I should be able to get some real tuning done and accumulate miles [if the weather will cool off a hair].

Ignore the heat, turn your A/C on....  Have you built hoses yet?

Not yet, bigger annoyances keep popping up, but I am close to working on that.


Engine runs again, I'll start tuning tomorrow.
