Should I rebuild

[Stevo-vz_berlina]

Hi guys I have a 2003 vy ss With 302000 on the clock I just did an ls7 lifter upgrade comp cam 219/233 and crow cam duel valve springs and otr

xforce headers with hi flow cats and 2 and 1/2 cat back

4.11 dif gears with tru Trac
It only made 237 kw

on the dyno a lifter let go and I know have low oil pressure (reason was I had wrong valve springs in it for first run) all changed now.

I don’t know if it’s time to rebuild or do a set of lifters again and heads and bolts. I have already spent decent coin (plus we are building a house) what’s every one’s thoughts.
Cheers in advance.

My thoughts are get PAC Racing springs and sell the Crows. Crows springs on the LS have fairly common problem of snapping.

Thanks mate.

With 302000 on the clock

doing a comp test would be a good cheeeeeep start

You should probably get a quote to rebuild the engine. If paying for everything you will have no change from $15k. That might help you decide the way forward.

Solid advice, thank you.

At 300k reckon all the bearings & seals would have been on their way out the door before did the cam.

I don't know your financial situation so I can't say for sure what option is best.
But if you do rebuild it stroking it to a 400ci plus is cheap horse power while it's all apart.

Is that 237rwkw or at the engine? My SV6 makes 237kw at the engine and only has high flow cats and an OTR and tune.
