Hemi tick can be reduced or eliminated through proper maintenance and mechanical fixes.

Hemi tick is a common issue in Chrysler Hemi engines, often caused by lifter wear, low oil pressure, or carbon buildup. It typically sounds like a ticking noise from the engine and can be addressed through various methods depending on the root cause. Regular maintenance, oil quality, and timely repairs are key to stopping the noise.

Identify the cause of the Hemi tick

• Check for worn hydraulic lifters
• Inspect for low oil pressure or poor oil quality
• Look for carbon buildup on valves or lifters
• Test for exhaust manifold leaks

Fix the Hemi tick with proper maintenance

1. Use high-quality synthetic oil (5W-20 or 5W-30)
2. Change oil and filter every 5,000 miles
3. Install a new oil filter with anti-drain back valve
4. Clean lifters and valves with engine cleaner
