For all the LS owners out there, FYI.

Whenever you do a cam swap, go for a higher quality tiebar lifter, and ditch the factory plastic guides.

Seen too many fail with failed lobes from roller wheel skipping, lifters turning in the guides etc. And broken springs. This is the only area that LS fails in, the valvetrain.

If I was building my own LS, albeit LS2 to LSA or LS9, I would chuck the whole valvetrain, run the recommended spring as a package with your chosen camshaft, run a forged steel roller rocker, (more compact than aluminium), correct pushrod length during dummy build etc.

I hope this doesn't scare others away.
