    So, rear end is makin hella noise. Like, cat in a dryer noise. Lifted the rear off the ground, put'er in drive, little tap tap tap-o-rue on the gas and it was so angry. Took a look at my RPO in the ol'glove box, peeped the GT4 and deduced I got a 3.73 8.5" thats not long for this world. So I...

    welp, i think i did a thing. pushed the gas down and cranked it for 10 seconds to get the oil around. let off and it started right up. no sputters, no kicks, no weird noises, vibrations, and best of all, no check engine light. oil pressure is fantastic...much fantastic. infact i have a...

    onwards and upwards, i come to the second question with second guessing so this single piece of plastic thats not touching the chain at all- is the only thing thats supposed to go there to replace this cute little OG setup that gently nuzzled against it?

    i find if i make it weird/humorous, add a dash of self deprecation for taste, makes it a fun read for everyone.

    yea and those delphis were to my understanding good enough stock replacement, as my forte lies withing rebuilding and moding v-twin engines, self doubt creeps in when i learn of others apprehensions to my parts list, which is the whole reason for posting it. plus, it is within my family's blood...

    well...TSP does offer "real" LS7 lifters in the form of $400 chevy performance LS7 lifters. i was inder the impression that Delphi or AC Delco was the bar that you shouldnt go under. yea both of those are whats offered by the TSP kit, the Delphi 25341990. then they offer the chevy performance...
