If the lifter trays weren't genuine GM then that is most likely the issue, or it could very well be all of it. Who makes Engine Tech stuff?? The trays should always be GM trays anything else is a crap shoot.
Some guys don't like running any brand lifter trays. I have never had an issue.....Yet. But I buy my trays right at the GM dealer, and they come in a sealed GM bag. As said above, if you're going to run trays, use ONLY GM trays. Period...

about changing the design, or discontinuing them altogether.... Just to beat the dead horse... GM only or BTR's own trays. The issue here is that the GM trays have extra webbing between the wall and floor of the trays, whereas the cheap ones do not.
