  • Not as much as Jason from Katech though. As much as I love carbon fiber, the only two places that I have it now is on the front grille and the rear tailpanel.

    • He paid $30 more for federal mogul (thanks kyle for giving me the brand) sealed power lifters... instead of getting GMPP LS7 lifters.

      • Remember to clean the lifters with mineral spirits, blow dry, then let soak in oil overnight before installing them!

        • You may even want to "excersize" them with an old pushrod, after the night's nap in oil. Wouldn't hurt and you'd know the oil's in there.

            Brian, they may be one in the same. I know FM did a lot of parts for GM PM rods, pistons, rings, perhaps valvetrain also.

                      GM's main supplier for all hydraulic valve lifters is Delphi - Grand Rapids. It's the plant where I worked for almost 30 years. Always tops in quality ranking. If I was buying lifters, I would by the original GM lifters (made in Grand Rapids) They are second to none.

                      GM dual sourced to Eaton, but our plant was often called on to replace defective shipments that came from Eaton.

                      Our plant also makes them for several aftermarket performance companies (like Crane, etc). After 30 years of watching them build lifters, I would put ours up against anybody's. They are top notch, world class.

                      We were the FIRST US supplier to make a critical internal engine component for Toyota, something like 15 years ago (and still doing so).

                      • Dad took a straight line against the heads and there's definitely no warping or anything like that - the heads are flat as can be.

                            Bring them up to my dads shop and I will measure therm and make sure they are flat within .001mm
