It is widely known to buy new ones and only use the GM ones. They are cheap. They also wear out a little nd the lifter can spin and wipe a cam. Cheap insurance, buy new GM ones. Many guys bought eBay Chinese lifter trays which are out of spec and wiped brand new cams. I just refreshed a motor and rockauto was cheap and fast for these.
