The series 2 L77 had redesigned ACDelco lifters instead of the Delphi lifters from the L76.

What is the difference?

More reliable. All L77's had DOD hardware fitted, but DOD was disabled in the electronics on manual V8 Commodores.

Funny thing took it past a mechanic tonight he said there is no noises engine sounds healthy its 220k on it but so what I've had these cars going to 300k and still good,and original owners alot of blokes got these cars and drove like they stole them and that's why they have a bad reputation

Change the oil frequently and use a flush or lifter free up. Keeping the lifters clean goes a long way to helping them from going bad. I use flush every oil change and I'm on 230k. I dump the oil every 10k but most on here would probably change it every 7,500 as mentioned a few posts ago.

I wouldn't touch lifters on an LS without a reason, cam, head gaskets, top end refresh, etc... They're naturally noisy valvetrains and LS lifters are an enigma wrapped in a mystery (or probably Mexican blueprint consistency needs work). Some go for three tonnes before they crap out, some last 50k. Some are noisier than others. If they ain't broke, rock on and maintain her like you love her

Had a 2011 manuel l77, sounded like a bottom end knock when one lifter failed , done dod delete and a few extras and because it gouged cam but as said donr touch what aint broke
