    Well this one decides to piss me off. 2 lifters will NOT pump up or pass oil thru pushrod. #7 intake and #2 intake. all others are fine. I took those 2 out and cleaned them, soaked them overnight, put them back in different holes, and they still did not pump up .

    the sucky thing is, there are limited options for new hydraulic roller stock style lifters now. the "drop in" morel 7717 do NOT work. the oil band is too tall and they cut oil flow completely off at partial lift.

    ended up gambling and buying BTR Delphi LS7 lifters. allegedly they are the same as the gmpp lifters which cost nearly triple. they will be here tomorrow

    had 60psi of oil pressure with 10w30 in it priming.

    7.150 pushrods in. maybe a hair long but I like the pattern on them more than a 7.100 or 7.050 with these rockers.
