Hey, I don't know if you are familliar with the Viper engines- I am. I lost my Viper engine in my SRT-10 Viper Truck. After researching and talking with a well respected Viper Tech, I come to find out that there is this nasty little oil cavitation problem at the #3 Rod Journal on the crankshaft, which will lead to a spun bearing. Another is the junk pistons that are factory stock. You need to replace them as the crowns outer edge of the pistons top likes to crack and fall apart- taking out sections to the first ring land.... I have numerous well detailed pictures of this along with talking to many whom experienced the same devestation my engine went thru.

FYI- I had the #3 rod break, when that broke it took out #4, punched a hole thru the side of the block and wipe out the oil galley tunnel that ride under the cam shaft feeding oil to the engine.....

Guys have been pulling stock engines apart and finding broken pistons.



Just wanted to give you a little heads up and possibly save you from subsequent impending engine doom.
