Intake seat went bad??
I have a 2008 Chrysler 300 with Hemi engine. I was on my way home from work and the engine began to run really rough. I lost power, but can start back up, then quits. Mechanic says "intake seat" fell out of engine?? Help??

5.7 Hemi's of this era had a tendency to drop intake valve seats. The intake valve closes on an hardened insert seat and when it falls into the cylinder it destroys the piston.
Engine unfortunately is likely to be toast.
