The kit includes a new camshaft, 8 MDS lifters, 8 non-MDS lifters, lifter trays, a cylinder head gasket set, a set of head bolts and valve cover gaskets. Easy Life Markets sells it as one kit so the camshaft and all 16 lifters can be replaced together with fresh gaskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 5.7L V8 in these trucks and SUVs is part of the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chrysler_Hemi_engine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eChrysler Hemi engine\u003c\/a\u003e family. On MDS versions, special lifters allow the engine to shut down four cylinders under light load to save fuel.

That is why the kit includes head gaskets and head bolts. Professional installation is strongly recommended.

Cleaning the oil pan and pickup screen is important if the old lifters failed, since metal debris can damage the new parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow MDS Works and Why Lifters Fail\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn MDS engines, eight of the sixteen lifters are special units that can collapse on command, stopping the valves from opening on four cylinders so the engine runs as a V4 at light load. These lifters are more complex than standard ones and depend on clean oil at the right pressure. Long oil change intervals, the wrong oil grade, extended idling and low oil levels are commonly blamed for lifter roller and camshaft wear on these engines. Using the manufacturer's specified oil and keeping to the service schedule is the best protection for the new parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Kit Is For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit suits workshops rebuilding 5.7L V8 engines, owners dealing with the familiar lifter tick or a misfire caused by a failed lifter, and anyone who wants to renew the whole valve train rather than replacing a few lifters at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this fit a 5.7L without MDS?\u003c\/strong\u003e This kit is designed for MDS engines.
