A question for the experts here. I think I read in a previous thread that I can eliminate D.O.D. if I put all non-active lifters in. Is this correct? Any confirmation would be appreciated.

The reason I ask is because I heard a bit of a knocking sound last night when starting the car after the vehicle was sitting out in the cold for 9 hours. The sound went away after the car warmed up, so I'm assuming it was lifter noise.

Thanks

You would still have to tune dod out as well. But lifter noise is pretty common on all ls motors when cold.

Agreed, even with dod being disabled in my pcm I still get a little chatter on startup. Goes right away. And ypu need more than lifters, you'll need a non dod cam pushrods and non dod valley cover

I switched to mobil one 0w30. I live in bel air, md and we regularly get into the teens at night and its made a drastic difference at start up. The ticking last about 10 seconds and smoothes out.
