Yea ive heard the same but I'm at almost 160k so I wanna refresh as much as I can in there while it's open.
I've heard or drilling holes on lifter guides to let oil drain faster back the pan to avoid running it dry. Anybody done this? Or point me in right direction regarding this?

You may be able to get info on the thread chaser through ARP.
I have also read about drilling the guides. Seems like mixed emotions from going through some searches.

I gatcha. Is it a direct bolt-on? I thought I had read somewhere about its size being a bit larger than an ls6. Not sure if that will effect fitment or anything.

I think will go through with this drilling mod just need to do it right, with the right tool.
The melling 10296 should be a direct bolt on ONLY if using single timing chains. If using double rollers, I believe there's some modding done to the front cover to get to all work together.

Post pics when you're done, I'd like to see how you go through with it.
That's what it was, if using a double roller assembly it would need modding. Thanks for clarifying that.

Well the day (or days lol) have finally come! Cam swap weekend!
I got parts soaking in oil now, lifters, springs, etc. Any body got any other tips, or tidbits before I start disassembly?
