Cheap ebay lifters?
Picking lifters for afm delete of a 2013 LC9. Previously assumed i would just order LS7 lifters, now im trying to place the order realizing theyre like $350 for a set of 16. Anyone care to share theyre experience with $80/$100$/$150 lifters from ebay? If people say theyre adaquate ill use them, i dont care who makes the lifter, just dont want unreliable parts.

LSXceleration is where I got my LS7 lifters from, mind you they are Delphi knockoffs but they work, for only $170 I think? eBay is not the place to buy engine parts I don't care what anyone says.

Imagine being so cheap you're willing to cost yourself a motor to save a couple bucks. I don't care if you can "get a 5.3 for $300 at the yard" You still gotta pull yours, clean the other one (maybe pull the other one), maybe reseal it, put it in, find out it its got no compression on #7, pull it back out, buy another $300 5.3 (maybe have to pull that one too) whilst trying to return the first $300 5.3 but the return window has closed because they only offer 14 day returns and its hard to do a motor swap while working 7 days a week to pay for the motor you just blew up with $80 ebay lifters
Johnson's are trouble free and $440 a set or so. Some places it makes sense to save a buck; the inside of your motor is not that place

Almost a year now and about 8k miles? I really am not sure about that.
No ticks but they are pretty noisy in my opinion. I just forget about the noise and move on with my day lol

These are not LS7, they are stock Gen IV LS lifters for 5.3 and 6.2 motors.

I ordered genuine gm ls7 lifters and trays. But its tempting seeing lifters $50 shipped for 16, knock offs, thats 14% the price of legit ones. They probablly even cheaper on there but im not messing around.
