Don't let the hp numbers fool you. Its all in how you get it to the ground. Clutching clutching clutching!

My 96 425 Magnum started missing at idle and is hard to start.Once it is started there is a knock at idle but seems to go away off idle.Dealer told me it was more than likly the cam.Can anyone tell me what i need to check before i take the motor apart and what i need to look for on the inside.When i the topend down to the cam think i should just go ahead and do a complete topend too? Thanks for the input

Found my problem.It was the secondary clutch not working.Took off the belt and it runs like it should.Now i need to find a good used clutch.
