My advice if your going this far in the motor might as well just trash the dod system, ditch the cam and grab a ls2 cam or something factory and put it all back together again. But let me ask first have you at least verified with a compression tester that you need a mew dod lifter? Have you pulled the valve cover off to see if any play is in the rocker?

I don't know if I wanna deal with dropping the motor out to do the cam swap and dod delete. I've never done a motor drop in a cradle before. I already have the dod tuned out via a intune. But you might remember my other thread I had about motor noises on cold starts. I haven't had any noise on cold starts lately because its been over 80 degreees here for awhile. But I know it still needs done.
No I haven't compression tested it
And no I haven't checked the rockers. You'll find also in my other thread ' new to me as, motor noise' that it ticks like crazy until it warms up which to me still says a dod lifter is messed up.

PM me and I can help you out will all the part numbers...but I definitely wouldn't run the DOD cam if you are going through all that work.
