I have been searching around but still havent found anything concrete, but can anyone tell me if the lifter trays are deleted with link bar lifters? I am building an LSA engine and I know that my old LS6 lifter trays wont even fit in the block but if the trays are not even used, then I wont have to worry about buying the LSA trays.

Thanks in advance for the advice.

The trays will not be needed with tie-bar lifters.

That's what I thought but just wanted to be sure. Thanks.

Which part# do you have? 72532? 72332?

I have the 72532 ones. Is there a big difference? I was also wondering if it mattered which way the link bar was orientated.

The bar must face outward towards the valley.

I asked because you did know that you can't run an oil heavier than 5w40 with those lifters?

I have heard more than a few times that the tolerance is real tight on these lifters and I was informed by another member about the oil to be used.

Thanks, I didn't know about the oil. I guess I will be running 5w40 then. Just as well I suppose, my main and rod bearings are a bit tight anyway from using ARP main studs and ARP 2000 rod bolts, and that's even with undersized bearings.
