Lunati or LS7 About a month ago i had a shop install a cam kit for my C5Z. After the work was done, i headed home and started to notice the car ticking pretty loud. I now have another reputable shop looking at it and are now saying that is related to a bad lifter. So now the heads are gonna come off and was recommended by the shop to go with LS7 lifters. Just wondering what the majority of yall are running. I heard some good things about the Lunati lifters with little or none problems. Which one do yall recommend?

Being that my C5Z wont be hitting higher than 6,500k redline, i should just stick with the LS7 ? Right now its pretty much just a weekend street/strip driver. So far it only has all bolt-ons except aftermarket heads. I just wana make sure i get the right ones cause having a shop pull them heads off arent cheap. lol

Did you touch the oil pump?? If you did, chances are good that the little $2 O-Ring is your problem. Coming from the driver's side?
Read up. I really wish they'd make this a sticky.

^ Get that larger O-Ring or the ticking will never stop. If it's stock, it may be the problem anyway; the O-ring.
The #7 lifter is the first lifter to see oil, and if that O-Ring is leaking at ALL it will cause oil system aeration which will not provide sufficient oiling to the #7 lifter = ticking.
My buddy an I spent two months tracking down that damn ticking. The o-ring was the problem..
