Just to fill you in it’s very common Ls lifters tap on a cold start that’s why it’s important to never rev on a cold start and also depends on oil i learned the oil can’t be too thick. my 5.3 in my truck been tapping since 150,xxxx im now at 250,xxx and still running strong
Yeah, I had a 5.3 before this. Had to tear the motor apart 3 times in 3 months. Bought it bc it needed lifters, then had to take it apart 3 weeks later bc a lifter blew in half lol😂 then 2 weeks later had to throw a cam in it. Sold it after that and picked this up. The g8 started with a cold start lifter tap but now it does it even warm while idling. Gonna do one more oil change and baby it then probably cam it once it warms up some more
@ oh got damn sorry to hear that I guess everybody luck is different because I had lifter taps on both trucks engines still running good knock on wood 🪵 I did notice running thicker oil made the taps louder so after that started running the 5w20 and they weren’t too loud noticeable
Make sure you get that g8only access panel in case you run into more issues. Crossing my fingers that mine will be okay until I get around to getting a zl1 pump
3:06 nasty cold start 🙏

@ maybe I’ll give that a try, good luck to you though. These are the best motors in the world man, nobody can convince me different lol
Tuff video to make, you’ll be good!
We will recover better than ever!🤞🏾
The fuel pump is failing on my g8 right now 😅 ordered it today
