Default Some people....





Well what do you know I trust someone I don't know on a forum and buy a "New" set of LS7 lifters and this is what I get.......I mean GM sent them from the factory with wear marks in them and discolored oil right??

I don't get how some people can do this......I had an issue with a member here a few weeks back...Stuck to my word and got him some more money because of my false advertisement but nothing like this!!!

People don't give a ****. I bought a set of springs from a guy here, he sent me 15 springs and swore I was wrong when I called him on it. Not to mention half of them had slight surface rust on them when they were supposed to be nib. Trust no one

I don't see a problem. I see no obvious wear marks other than machining. The rollers look like they have never been used either. Lifters come from the factory with oil in them.

Maybe some more pictures if your seeing something I'm not.

The pics he posted in the swap meet section does show the wear. They may not have been run but they have been installed and cycled through the engine
