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 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.
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.
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...
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.
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...
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.

Previous owner removed TPS sensors from wheels. So, I went into dash to disable TPMS module to see if the Low Tire warning message could be removed. (it could not)
I reassembled everything and when I try to start the car...ignition on, fuel pump on, gauges power up, push...
An update: Still not starting from start button
Bought a new battery to replace the 6/2017 battery, although it was showing 12.6 volts.
Voltage at Start Button connector (yellow wire) is 13.8 volts, is that indicating something???
Fuel light is still lit and displaying below empty although the...
fuel light lit fuel tank has fuel
ignition switch
not starting
solenoid tested at pdc
starter relay tested and works
test procedure for the ignition switch
The battery is old - 2017, (5 year warranty) I checked with my meter and it's 12.6 volts. I could swap because we know they are pretty good about failing when they approach the warranty date. :)
I agree with you. It would be bad to get low or out of fuel and not start or try to start. No close by Gen 3s. I can start diagnosing the BCM. Thanks for the reply.
