If you wear tri-focal glasses and need bright light to see anything you don't worry about the belt or the belt tensioner. As for the 16 spark plugs, I don't see any plugs, if fact I don't see much that I even recognize as an engine part.

You know, back in 2006 when I bought mine, I asked the service manager a couple questions during my new customer tour. One was, "How often do you need to "open" these engines for valves, rings, etc?" His answer, "Never, if it needs internal repairs, we pull the engine and replace it with a factory rebuilt". I thought he was kidding, but apparently not. Fortunately it is an amazing engine.

Yup Dealerships are just parts replacers nowadays no deep thinking rebuilds anymore that is the speedshops area of expertise or shadetree mechanics. If my Hemi quits its going to Davenport here in Calgary to get a proper rebuild and beefed up on the otherhand if my 440 quits its going into my garage for a rebuild and beefed up. Strange how one is unlike the other..stupid modern motor lol
 
I just wanted to say I love the dealership dance. the whole thing. all of it. from the sharks out in the front lot to the guy in the fishbowl and the finance guy back in the offices. I usually bring my old lady with me and I claim I'm just the labor guy and she is the accounting department - and let them fight her for a while...

the only place ive never done the dance was scion. and their sticker price was decent enough on the 2005 toaster + oil changes for life that I paid it.

Nothing personal, but if I ever find myself in a Scion dealership considering buying one of them, I hope I'm lucid enough to kill myself !

It is a serious durability risk to try to build more than 426 cubic inches unless you use the shortest stroke possible. Certain bore and stroke combinations are prone to piston damage due to piston combination instability with tip over causing piston skirt collapse. Due to piston cooling, oiling and emissions, retaining the piston oiler in a stroker application is extremely important.

After reading Carmine's post I'm very sure I will never venture under the hood of the Jeep except to add bug juice to the windshield washer! I thought the addition of hydraulic lifters was pretty hi-tech. This Hemi stuff is not hi-tech, it's freaking magic and I don't do magic freaking or otherwise.
:rofl:

Same old suck, squeeze, bang, blow. Just with a shave, nose hair trim, and a brush and floss ,and a hair cut. No magic.

I guess sometimes it can be fun. Most not. I have noticed the phrase *What can we do to earn your business today?* seems to have disappeared.
