they make aftermarket oil filter housings that use traditional oil filters, and keep the oil primed in the top of the engine. what happens is the pentastar engine is designed so all the oil drains into the pan almost immediately, ultimately leading to a lot of dry starts...with the cams running dry they tend to go bad rather quickly. some Lucas or that kit will fix it permanently tho.

@Chris Vaughn good practice to change the intake phaser and oil control valve and oil cooler. Done to many where the phaser acts up after repair. And cooler has metal in it. Have 3 on my bench now

The Pentastar is such a garbage motor. One of the companies I advise bought 20 RAM work trucks with this motor. Got a good deal. Half of them had a head gasket issue outside of warranty. Cylinder 2...

“Immediately we saw the issue” the issue is they didn’t change the oil often enough. Look at the sludge
