    Gen 3 Irregular Wear on Valve Stem and Rocker

    Thanks. I'll take the head off and check. I'll replace the value and rocker, check the pedestal.

    Gen 3 Irregular Wear on Valve Stem and Rocker

    They look perfect, no odd wear a pattern. #10 is the only one that has wear and makes the tapping noise.

    Gen 3 Irregular Wear on Valve Stem and Rocker

    I'll check it out. The rocker looks like it has been wearing like that since it was built? Very uneven and paint is still on the rocker. The end of the valve stem looks rough / wear.

    Congrats. Repair the exhaust. Also, consider replacing the power steering pump lines and oil cooler lines. The quick disconnects will leak. Many threads on the parts and how to do.

    Gen 3 Irregular Wear on Valve Stem and Rocker

    Gen 3 2005 Mamba. Plug wires shorted to exhaust manifold. Heard tapping noise on #10 cylinder valves. I see irregular wear on the valve stem and the rocker. See pictures. Is this a bent valve? Damaged valve guide? Or other issue? Thanks I appreciate your responses.

    Odometer Lighting

    Double check the LED I circled in the attached photo. I found those LED contacts are a little finicky. Hope that helps.

    Door Mirrors

    My 2005 SRT-10 (USA) side mirrors fold in. Look very carefully, before pushing. Added picture, hope it helps. Good luck.

    DIY crash repair of my '10 Viper

    Truly masterful work. Congrats, you're an inspiration. Your workspace looked a little tight, must have been an issue at times. Anyway, great work, saved another Viper.

    Reality check....

    Great post. I've owned my 2005 SRT-10 Mamba convertible (Matilda) for 5 years. I never worry about gas mileage, it is not good 10 to 14 MPG and I don't care. It's a sports car. Matilda is extremely reliable and when I've had any issues I use the well written shop manuals and solve the problem...

    Mamba red

    I think the color is called Imperial Red (Chrysler) or Cardinal Red. Under the steering wheel, remove the panel and there's a couple labels with codes. One of the labels reads Imperial Red and probably has the paint code there. If you figure it out let me know for future reference.

    No Crank No Start

    Not sure if you've solved this yet. When you checked the Starter Relay, did you test it charged and uncharged? Also, does the car start when you remove the starter relay and attach a remote start button to 87a in the PDC (Starter relay terminal) and a ground? See my post "2005 won't start after...

    2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Not starting after going into dash Part 3

    Good lessons learned. Be patient, read your manuals carefully, trace continuity and voltage wire by wire and connector by connector, and be methodical. You'll find the electrical problem. These Vipers are super well designed and easy to fix, if you don't rush.
