Interference or Not???

[Wifey]

Is the 2004 SRT-10 8.3L(STOCK) an interference motor? Sorry but it's been awhile - LOL

If the timing chain breaks or slips how much damage? Does it have a tensioner?

THANK YOU!!! :rock: :rock: :rock:

OHHHH.. Its F*&ked .. you need to just dump the truck... I can pick it up for scrap ,, pays about $300 ... where shall i send the flatbed ??

YOU ARE STILL BADDD!!!!! LOL LOL

How refreshing to know some things never change :rock: :rock: :rock: :chain:

So I take it you don't know?

 

[Wifey]

Besides that, it is a piece of junk! It has dust on it and the odometer is stuck on 5740 miles. Wouldn't be worth sending a trailer

Nope no clue... sry..

No tensioner. Damage depends could get lucky and have to buy just a timing set

 

[Wifey]

no worries! I guess we all have CRS. Must be age!!!

Hey, good seeing you on here I hope you are doing well

Ok, cool! Thank you!!

I am just planning ahead. she has 5,740 miles on her now so hopefully I have time before I need to worry :beer:

 

[IronAffliction]

Or you piston could hit your valves and so on creating a very exspensive fix

 

[Wifey]

then would that mean it IS an interference engine? :dontknow:

 

[IronAffliction]

Mine had a hard 96k on her no timing chain issues. I am gonna replace it now that the motor is being built

 

[IronAffliction]

Yes it is

 

[Wifey]

Yes it is

THANK YOU!!! Good luck on your build. I will be lucky if mine ever sees 9,600 miles at this rate

No it is not! Doesn't matter how you try it, the valve doesn't protrude from chamber and has no way of contacting piston unless spring retainer lock fails and drops valve. :beer:

 

[IronAffliction]

Guess i was wrong figured if valve stuck open it could contact the piston. I retract my false statement

 

[Slitherbeast]

You would have to drive it for the valve to interfere with a piston.......alot...... seems you must just sit in it? Mind you ,If you simply sit in it and rev it to 7000 rpm against the shop wall, that might create some interference...... eventually

Oh yeah(?) What if a rod lets go?

If a valve stuck open, it's still not far enough out to be passed chamber. Piston doesn't contact chamber, so you have that room plus the room valve has before coming to chamber edge. That's how we can make more power by tightening chamber volume and piston to deck height. More compression, more quench, mo powa!:rock:
Then we do valve reliefs/flycut so the piston and valve can get get even closer to each other. Now in these conditions we have created an interference engine. But in stock form. Nope

She's for real. OG member here lol :stickyman:osthoe::smokin:
