Impatience got the better of me, so I went out at lunch, checked the plugs, and reseated all of the wires (benefit of working from home, and may I say...that #8 plug location suuuucks). Went for a drive and all appeared well....until six or eight minutes later when the oil warmed up and the pressure dropped to around 30 psi. Then the stumble and tick came back. Once I start driving and the oil pressure comes up to 40 psi, the stumble and noise go away. When I stop again and the pressure drops to 25-30, the stumble and tick come back. So, it looks like a bad or going bad lifter.
Anyways, thanks to all of you for your help, input, and advice.
Now I need to figure out next steps. Do I delete the AFM and cam the 5.3 or swap in a L96 6.0L? Decisions, decisions...
