@bentune: ever since the owner dropped off this 2017 cts-v, I have not had 100% confidence that it was going to be trouble free based on a few things he told me, but sometimes my gut instinct isn't right... sometimes. after I corrected a PCV routing issue and fixed the fuel pump issue outlined in the previous video, I was finally able to dig into the tuning a little more in earnest. initially, the car had a fairly noisy valve train but I just attributed it to the Delphi lifters that were utilized in the build. often times cheaper lifters, while mechanically sound, may make a little more noise than other brands. however, I noticed that as tuning progressed the engine started making more and more noise and it was becoming apparent that the driver's side was even louder than the passenger side. once I started seeing some knock and a big fuel trim imbalance in the data log, I decided that was a great time to stop and let the owner know he needed to pick his car up. he understood and requested that I try to investigate a little deeper and determine what the root cause was, as they all inevitably do. upon removal of the valve cover, the cause of the issues was immediately apparent. #bentune #mechanic #hptuners #GM #fail

If the Delphi lifters are the cheap ones, which would you recommend or put on a build of your own?

I’ve noticed that on ALL MY EXHAUST VALVE TIPS on my L83. I actually made a FB post asking what people thought. Do I need lash caps on my L83?

Hopefully he remembered to put the shims under the exhaust locators.

See this so much on ls7s as well. Don’t take ur engine or car to a shop that doesn’t no what there doing. This is base case scenario alot of the time they drop the valve if it’s not checked
