If you do replace them, might as well get the new lifters from GMPP that go for around 200 bux. SDPC made a post about then a couple days ago in the LS2 section.

i just did the same. My valvetrain is CRAZY noisy right now. Thought it was the pushrods but it isnt. How long does it take for new lifters to pump up?

Might as well. I went with the Comp 850s and they've worked fine for me.

They should pump up as soon as you get oil pressure.
