Description of the problem	Apparently it is a known issue with dodge chargers and other vehicles with the same engine but the 3. 5l will develop a "ticking" noise that is caused by a rocker dowel pin shearing off. A simple search online will show numerous owners with the same issue. From the shifting of the sheared pin, the oiling holes become misaligned and the rockers starve from oil a bit. (according to one discussion) (here are a couple discussions about it: http://www. Chargerforums. Com/forums/showthread. Php? T=152670 http://www. Lxforums. Com/board/showthread. Php/300445-3-5-lifter-rocker-tick-fix ) it is most noticeable when the car is idling or at speeds under 15mph due to outside road noise but it is always happening. It has been doing this for at least a year and only after it started getting louder did i really start researching the potential problem. There is no point that the engine does not make the noise. When it is running, it has a tick noise and i'm afraid its going to wear out the inside of the engine or cause further damage.
