silverado_ss_04 Posted September 9, 2013 Report Share Posted September 9, 2013 needs some input on what you guys think this noise is, sounds like a ticking lifter coming from cylinder 5 or 7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downeast Johnny Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I'm guessing but it sounds a little loud for a lifter. Have you done a compression check? Just wondering if it might be a bent valve? Interested in hearing what you find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramer Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Check out the BTR SLR lifters. They are high quality and a step up from the LS7 and cost less than the link bar or crane lifters. I have a set waiting to go on. I do know that the LS7 lifters have been having a large increase of failures over the past few years fwiw.

Cramer Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Good deal. I did tons of research on lifters since I wasn't decided on link bars or some high dollar hydraulic roller lifters. Then I happened to talk to Brian and he gave me the low down on them and made my mind up.
