congrats. but welcome to the world of ls motors, and their valve trains. food for thought; something could have caused your lifter to fail prematurely. simply replacing lifters could just be treating the symptom and not addressing the root problem. you could have an oil pressure issue and/or bearing issue. just be prepared, your lifter swap may turn into major surgery. but you're in the right place and the search function/stickies are your friend!
