Also, some people drill small holes at the bottom of the trays for the oil to leakdown faster. Second, the seats of the ls7 lifters are slightly taller and some people have to change pushrod lengths.
Hope that helps!

What should I use to clean the carbon build up on the pistons? I was told to apply a little bit of oil on the the piston and cylinder walls and rotate the engine every couple of days to keep it from rusting. Don't need anything screwing up lol

Heads were shipped last Thursday
Was also told by Dave at WCCH that the drivers side head is a little reddish because its a sign of the engine running to hot. He said that it only takes one time to do it, but i did have overheating issues a while back so it explains it. He also said that there is a TSB out on some 706 heads being faulty and causing some 5.3's to overheat easily. You learn something new everyday.
Can't wait to get the 243's back richard

I noticed something cool. You can actually do a head swap on these trucks without removing the accessory bracket? I'm going to be doing the same thing as you in a couple of months. Tell me, how long did it take you to tear it down to the shortblock?
