This was an engine that was sold at a local auto salvage yard and then returned as defective. Unfortunately I didn't get any details like mileage, or reason for return. These are pretty expensive engines (Around 3500-4000 dollars) which generally means there's a high demand for them. Lets figure out what went wrong with this one. The 5.7 Hemi had a few iterations throughout the years but this is one of the latest offerings making 383hp and 400ft lbs of torque. Overall I think these engines are fairly reliable but certain operating environments and quickly lead to problems. They do run quite well and aren't particular hard to work on which is nice. Why am I doing this? I own a full service auto salvage yard in the Saint Louis Missouri area called Importapart. Part of our model includes buying core or bad engines and dismantling them to salvage the good parts from while recycling the rest. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do. I hope you enjoyed this video, as always, I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one! -Eric
