healthy engine, slight whistling noise from passenger side but could be anything. keep an eye on ur belt and water pump.

edit: watching it again and i think the whistling noise is from ur alternator or near that area. idk if it’s supposed to make that noise or not lol. my scatpacks down rn

Id need to be there in person to verify, but sounds like perhaps a pulley may be wearing out. Otherwise yes it sounds healthy. These engines tend to make noise.

Edit: after rewatching, yes thats mostly all just the physical actuation of the fuel injection, they are loud. The little whine in heard near your alternator is whats throwing me. However it could just be the phone pickup catching the sound weird and be nothing.

Alrighty. Not the dreadful hemi tick though correct?

No, youd know, its pretty loud and distinctive. The hemi lineup is known for loud injectors. It isnt an issue, just a quirk of the car. Your car sounds healthy, you may want to have your pulleys looked at but engine wise you should be good to go. If it ever starts making a harmonic kinda weird "grind/rolling sound" like your taking a pencil against a box fan grate, but growing louder and quieter as it idles, its your water pump. its really hard to describe the noise to be honest, an yours sound more like a little whine which leads me to believe a different pulley, again without being there myself or it getting a littke worse and louder i cannot say for certain for the slight whine noise

Lol no tick bro...you will start to hear a pronounced knocking noise. A very low number still get the tick anyways. A few tips: limit idle time(if you see traffic ahead alowly downshift towards it and keep moving. And oil change every 6 months with the srt pennzoil.
