It's not idiotic assuming it was the lifters.
These lifters have been known to be problematic on some of the ls blocks.
I never accused Morel.
I was certain but but not positive till they could get ruled out.
I did put the seller of those morels on notice saying if they prove to be the issue, I will need a full refund.
However they are not an issue so it's all good from his end.
Don't be a smug *****. Lol

[QUOTE=psicko;20208817]You didn't just throw another set of $800 lifters at it in hopes of fixing your oil pressure issues? Did you or your tuner even bother to take a good look at them to try to understand why the lifters would be causing it?

Suspecting a problem with a component is one thing, but trashing a person/company without proof is a shitty thing to do. Even more so when that shitty person ends up being wrong. Launch is that shitty person and should be called out as such. Isn't that the reason a lot of knowledgeable industry guys stay away from this website?

You give me the creeps.
Anyone who spends thousands upon thousands on dollars with the same tuner, only to get worse results and more problems, MUST be wearing clown shoes. It seems those shoes should be fitting you really well right about now.

You can think and assume what you like.
Read between the lines and get the facts right first.

LOL, you're the one sitting here with a 60 page thread trying to figure out why your engine doesn't make the oil pressure and power that it should.

Yes, that's what part swappers do when they can't diagnose the problem.

Bozo, let's be honest here, you have a build that's as basic as a Pumpkin Spice Latte. If you or your tuner knew what you were doing, you wouldn't be having these problems.

So you are telling me the first thing you would do is tear down the entire engine instead of doing a lifter change to test and see if that will eliminate the issue?
Tuner has had issues with morels before.
Makes sense to me to check that first.
At least its been ruled out so stop being such a dick.
Why even post in my thread?
Go somewhere else.

Tuner has had issues with morels before.
First of all, if I already knew of issues with Morel lifters, I would have checked before putting them in the engine.

Secondly, if I did suspect an issue with the lifter after it caused a problem, I would actually examine the lifters to verify a design flaw before convincing my customer that he needs another set of $800 lifters

Like I said before, if he isn't the most incometent "tuner" out there, then he knows you're a sucker and he's going to take you for all he can until you wise up.

The lifters were checked and they appeared fine, otherwise they would not have been put in!
I only ever purchased one set of lifters not two.
I was given a second set to test.
And now we know its not them.

Exactly, and your "tuner" is wrong AGAIN...

Unless you check BEFORE they go into the engine...but your tuner obviously didn't know how to do that.

Okay, but I'll be back for the next update when your oil pressure "issue" still isn't fixed and you still aren't making the power it should. I'm guessing this will be around page 80 or 90 by then! Looking forward to seeing all the good advice you get from your "tuner" in the meantime.
