lifters

Hi everyone I’m in a very stuck position at the moment. 08 ssv wagon manual 117 xxx kms My ss is making a ticking noise and I’m not sure what it is. The problem is I went to 2 reputable shops who work on these cars and both shops have said different things which leaves me in a position on...

Hi all just wondering if I need to do any supporting mods to put heavy duty valve springs in my ecotec like pushrods or rockers or will they be strong enough?

hey guys! I have an 03 Vy Ss, has just had brand new ls7 lifters after my original ones failed, and put a brand new oil pump in.. and I am still hearing a slight tick every now and then.. can someone please give me some insight on what this may be, or why it's happening ?? cheers

Just put a new motor in my vs after the last one had rod knock, new motor was fine before hand all I did was gaskets and quick look at lifters, was running ok when put in and now that I've put majority of it back together this noise has started, cheers for the help...

Hello. My LS1 (173,000ks) WK Statesman makes ticking noises when first started up cold. After a few minutes it goes away. It sounds like lifters but I'm not 100% sure. Has anyone else experienced this and if they did what can I do about it. My E3 GTS LS3 with 73,000 ks on it does not do it...

Hi guys, Just bought a 2010 VE SSV REDLINE UTE, L77 With 140000km. Has a folder of receipts including 355rwkw dyno sheets. Sold to me as 'needs lifters replaced' and I got it for 11k. Im hoping that's a good price and that's all that's wrong with it. As I have just lost my house, 2 cars and...

Hey guys, so this week I’ve noticed that tick tick tick only slight coming from the 5.7 LS1 and can assume the lifters are on the way. I’ve got a quote of $3500 to do the job which seems excessive. Can anyone let me know of a mechanic and rough cost if they have had it done before . Located...

MY17 Caprice (LS3) My engine often makes a sound a bit like maracas when it is first started, after it has been left off for an extended period (e.g overnight). The noise goes away after a minute or so, and the engine is then very quiet. It has been to a performance shop, who replaced all the...

Just wondering what needs to be done to change over lifters in 5.7l ls1? How much would it cost to get mechanic to do and if anyone knows where I can get it done in Adelaide for a reasonable price. Thanks

Hiya's I had a L77 engine in my VE with a cam which never had the DOD delete done at install or had dual valve springs put in. It sounded like a sewing machine, so I had the DOD delete done and it was much better. A few months later a valve spring gave way and rooted my motor so I got a new...

Ok guys so I'm thinking about doing a cam changeover (vcm 21 kit) and wondering if it's worth adding lifters to the shopping cart. I'd think it would be a no brainer but thought I'd ask u guys. Doing the standard vcm Otr and 1"3/4 headers with 2 1/2" system. 07 Ve ssv l98 sedan. Stock. Cheers Az

Gday guys In the next few weeks im doing the lifters and timing chain in my 07 ve stato L98. Im just replacing the parts with stock parts as its just an everyday driver and don't want to go tune it or anything. I can find everything on ebay I need except for a stock L98 cam. Anyone able to...

Hi all I know this has probably been asked time and time again but I can't find anything that matches my problem. In the past my car has made a knocking noise right at 5k when due for a service but now seems to be more regular usually once car is warm. It's fairly noticeable noise as you can...
