hemi sounds wrong

[ramffml]

Does this sound normal to you guys? (the video/link below has sound, have to click the little sound icon to turn it on). The sound I'm referring to is like a dry, raspy, airy sound. It doesn't every go away, but gets worse under load, climbing up a hill with rocks on the side really makes that sound noticable, but I can hear it in the middle of an empty road too when I start driving from a stop.

Brand new engine, think the sound was there pretty much from the beginning but only really noticed it when going up a hill recently, but now I can't unhear it and hear it all time.

Hmmmm, doesn't honestly sound much different to my engine.

To me it sounds like something is dry or not getting lubricated, I don't think that's normal as I've never heard that in any newish engine before. Old beaters going down the road, sure, but not a brand new engine.

(When I wear headphones the sound comes through the video a little more clear.)

I think they all sound that way - certainly mine does. I really don't get it, it must be a side-effect of some engineering decision.

I wonder if it could be bad lifters or springs, mine was in the shop for 19 days before they found a cracked spring and bent pushrod on a 1200 mile engine. I never noticed any weird sounds tho.

Join the club... mines was in the for several months total, changed multiple parts, now they’re calling it “normal”. Not happy at all.

I didn't hear anythng "abnormal".... Sounds about like mine on a startup. I can't imagine trying to explain that to a service advisor. :-(
