[LS2] Common issues and faults

[07GTS]

if u do a cam then change the lifters the ls2 ones are garbage IMO any more load then standard and mine just ticked all the time, will need to remove heads to do lifters...

I ran a my previous 223/231 and current cam for 2years on LS2 lifters with no problems and no ticking.
Sonny just decided to upgrade my lifters when he did my heads.

maby i got some dud ones, better springs and 1.8rr is all it took for mine to become noisy even tried different preloads but didn't help...

My very first upgrade before going cammed was to fit 1.8RR's and after Sonny ran it on the dyno he changed the springs to corect a dip in my power curve (shown below).
Other than piston slap when cold the engine has always been pretty quiet even after 2 cams a heads change and 3 different sets of valve springs.
