Stock LS2 Lifters Have Changed!
Stock LS2 Lifters Have Changed! I was reluctant to go back with stock lifters after a failure took out my C6 motor. Well I'm happy to report that the new lifters are considerably different. There is much more material around where mine broke. On the old ones, there were two shoulders or posts that came up and had the axle where the roller tip rode on. On the new ones the clyinder continues all the way up to the roller axle. The roller is actually down inside the center of the lifter. I know this don't make too much sense... I'll post pics later. P/N fort the new ones should be the same as the old ones but its... 17122490.
i'd like to see a pic, the older lifters in LS1's were not the encapsulated type and have since changed to the fully encapsulated on later LS1 and LS6 motors. That would suck if they were putting the older type lifters in the LS2's
