Description of the problem	The valve springs in the compression chambers go. As you are driving you suddenly lose power and compression is gone, i have had this happen twice now with 2 chambers each time being gone. It is a scary and dangerous situation. As i ow look to replace the engine after the most recent incident, what i am discovering is that the engines available are available because of the same issue. This seems to be a fairly widespread issue on this 5. 7 litre, hemi engine.
