So my engine spun a rod bearing. Its all apart now and getting reassembled with new bearings, rings, etc. I'm inclined to just buy brand new lifters to avoid any oil contamination since they are surely holding oil inside of them that had metal dust in it. I figured before I spent more money I'd ask the forum just to make sure I'm not on the wrong track. They are oem ls7 lifters with probably an honest 5000 miles or less. Anyone have any sure fire way to bleed and clean them I havent thought about before I pull the trigger?

Thanks!

 

You can buy brand new for 100 bucks shipped. Toss em and put new in.

 

Buy new lifters since your oil may have been contaminated and its already apart

 

For just over $100, replace them.

 

replace them...

 

Ok, you guys are echo'ing my same thought process. Just wanted to ensure there wasnt some trick I was missing!

Thanks!

 

Like everyone else has said just replace them. You don't want to compromise the new setup by not buying a set lifters that would be $150 at the most.

 

An old engine builder once told me.. Chris...what do you get when you swap the L and F in LiFter...........
