    Default LS7 lifters?

    Are the LS7 lifters for sure the replacements for LT1's? Also when I install them how long do I need to soak them in oil and should I use assy. lube? I'm only replacing the lifters... no cam swap.
    Thanks...

    They are definitely the OEM replacements now and will fit without a problem.

    You don't need to soak them long. Hit them with a solvent cleaner to clean off the lint and grime (from the packaging), then a few minute dunk in oil is all you really need. They come prefilled with a light oil, so all of the rumors about having to soak them for days on end is bupkis.

    No assembly lube is needed.

    They are direct replacement no issues. I also soaked them in over night to make sure there were no air bubbles. I never had a problem.

    As stated, they are direct replacement. Mine have been sitting in oil for a year lol.
