Hello all,
'02 Grand Prix, 3.8L N/A
I am doing a LIM gasket replacement and a new UIM w/gasket, valve cover gaskets, etc. Since my lifters have been "ticking" for a while now, I figured I would replace them as well since I would have it torn down anyway.
My question is: what are the best, least expensive lifters I can buy? My dealer wants $63 each for OEM which is insane !!! I have heard that the Comp Cam lifters are noisy and louder than the OEM ones. I have also gotten conflicting info on whether I can use LS7 lifters, but I am not sure what LS7 lifters are.... or, where to get them. I have also heard that the ones that AZ sells are crap. I want to do this once and only once and need some direction from all of you. I also have a very limited budget for this, so the lifters need to be the best ones for the least amount of $$$.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
