    Default Replcing LS1 hydraulic lifters

    Hi guys anyone able to advise me on replacing the hydraulic lifters in the ls1 ? or can tell me if its the same deal as a vn v6, remove manifold,remove tappets & push rods and there right there ready to pull.
    Also where can i get a decent price for a set of hydraulic lifters cause repco prices hurt the pocket

    The lifters are under the heads... so need to pull off all you have just said + heads, see yellow bits.

    Talk to rocketindustries.com.au or any LSx tuner in your area, but stay away from Comp lifters(Heard too many horror stories)

    dont be afraid mate its not that hard if you have basic engine knowledge and all the torque specs, thought you were getting a cam? would be a perfect time to do lifters when you do springs etc.
