I listened to that 96capricemgr guy and got the aftermarket LS7 lifters and now at least one is making noise.

Suggestions on a new replacement set that is not $600 link bars?

I have some Bert Bower endorsed Comp R lifters if you're interested. Other than that there's no reason why ls7's should make any noise unless you really broke dicked yourself and bought used ones?

I had an issue with afew LS7 lifters awhile back. I replaced them with another set and havent had much issue. The next engine that I build, Ill probably just got with mechanical lifters.

Yes.

Yea, seems like there is no mid priced set of replacements other than LS7s

I was around a few years before Bert. If the noise is truly coming from a lifter just replace them with stockers.

If I order "stock" replacements, won't I get LS7 or variants from GM?

The OP is trolling.............

For those not paying attention I tell folks LS7s are stock replacement AND if anything I have seen more failures with those than with original LT1 lifters.

I had no idea. Haven't paid attention to stock anything from GM since about 1998. I'm telling you, you need some lifters I have a perfectly good set of Comp R's. One more thing, you are the man crush, I am the village troll. Get it straight, boy!

How did u adj the lifters? By noise or by rolling the p-rod with your fingers feeling for zero lash? Try the rolling the p-rod method once - it takes nearly the same effort. What have u to lose?

$600.00 link bars are the way to go!

Just as long as you didn't do it with the engine running it's all good in the hood.

At least half of mine were bad out of the box. Link bars have been good.
