[@michaelmcinnis911]

"Maybe this is why my back hurts everyday..." Good thing you're still young!

[@slickniner]

you make it look so easy!

[@NotSoFast402]

Done a few of these, lol

[@MrJackal64]

From what I've learned about these motors, you need to disable the AFM/DOD setting in the pcm/ecm and remove and plug the bypass valve in the oil pan.

[@NotSoFast402]

Cheap parts, installed correctly 😅

[@JESSEDIGI]

That kit is soo awesome it made it a diesel.

[@kevinkhaos2202]

I bought the same kit for my 10 avalanche. Never had an issue!! Once I updated the driver side valve cover. We was good! Put 80k on that engine

[@Markslife101]

Thanks for sharing this, from what ive read, your not susposed to soak these lifters in oil, it says they will build up during 1st run, my thinking is by soaking them they absorbed the oil and when you torqued the lifters they didnt torque right, which after running, left the rockers loose, probably just need to pull the valve covers and retorque the valves, just a thought, great video

[@Captain_Zero_]

Usually these cheap kits skimp out on the Lifter trays. I don't understand why. I mean, they are just plastic after all. They can allow the lifters to rotate which would be detrimental. I wonder if you used the kit, but used better quality lifters how it would turn out.

[@NotSoFast402]

I agree. Lifters and trays are questionable in this kit. Camshaft? Who knows, maybe its ok.

[@craigstreetzel7743]

Flushing out all that metal is a lot more important than ever diesel or mineral spirits so your new parts will last longer than the end of your driveway

[@joshhernandez2144]

Did you have to delete the afm on a computer? Or tune for the new cam ?

[@texasrider5621]

Did it come with the computer? Delete as well?

[@standoffduck4635]

Did you test the lifters in the tray?

[@t.c.mitchell7041]

I thought he put them in wrong tbh😮

[@dreece2000]

Dude i bought the same kit I ended up buying every single piece from someone else. Every single lifter was clicking

[@NotSoFast402]

[@ladin425]

You had to know something was up when you scraped the piston with a chisel, right? I would have ran the crap out of that engine. It sounded like it has some piston slap or the small end of the rod was knocking. It didn't sound like regular rod knock to me.

Do you have any idea of lobe lift duration on these cams or what they compare to

[@NotSoFast402]

@@alfredmcneill6825 it's the same specs as a stock 5.3 camshaft

[@fidelcordova9374]

You didn’t have enough oil in the motor hence the extreme noisy lifters.

[@michaelmcinnis911]

Are the lifters just out of spec? (Not the right length or diameter?)

[@NotSoFast402]

No, they are supposed to be the right size. But they are low quality!

[@jefferyholcombe5189]

Sounds like a rod cap never got tightened! Did you remember to tighten the cap? Did you plastiguage the tolerances on that main or rod cap you removed? I would have done the clearances before you did anything to see if the bearings were trashed, you guys just assumed!

[@NotSoFast402]

It got torqued to spec. It was a high mileage cheap truck to experiment with

[@chadgardee1496]

Hmm wonder if it would have worked good with right oil pressure definitely something wrong with engine 🤔

[@frankzola4857]

Did you tune it for the dod delete? I read everywhere if you dont tune it runs like shit

[@NotSoFast402]

@frankzola4857 yes I did. You are correct. Gotta tune it

[@frankzola4857]

@NotSoFast402 when you ran the tune did it sound better? I was under the impression if you didn't run the tune it only ran on 4 cylinders and sounds terrible like it did in that video.

[@NotSoFast402]

@frankzola4857 it's tuned in the video. These will only go to 4 cyl mode while driving. Not at idle

[@frankzola4857]

@NotSoFast402 is this still running good i just installed one on my tahoe sounds exactly like this not great just curious if it's worth keeping like this or do another motor.

[@NotSoFast402]

@frankzola4857 I parted out the truck because I wasn't confident in the motor

[@300_spartanslexgang9]

i got the same kit the lifters are garbage

[@Eskateordie1]

Dude how can you make that solid conclusion when you didn't tear it apart and see what the hell was wrong?

[@juliovaldez5468]

It doesn't always have to be that scientific. We were definitely able to see the poor quality of the camshaft and lifter trays. Between that and the noisy lifters, I personally would not be interested in a kit like this this for the price difference of oem parts. I would rather do a job like this once with quality parts.

[@amoryalexander7801]

So you shim the oil pump and tighten the spring? My 235k mile deleted 5.3 has 60 at idle you ain't doing something right boss lol

[@Surazonhumana]

More important for oil pressure than the spring and shim on pump is delete the overflow valve on the oil pan and looks that he didn't plug that

[@texasrider5621]

I hate to say it either they’re bad or you did something wrong cause they shouldn’t be doing that

[@jimdavis6833]

3:30, background music on this type of video is nonsensical, so I'm outa here. I won't be subscribing either.

[@1BigDaDo]

Sounds like to me you didn't break in the cam properly usually with a new cam lifters you start up and let it run at 3k rpm 30 mins or so break in then change the oil..

[@justingraves3061]

Not on a roller. Install and race

[@alfredmcneill6825]

I bought the same kit I used everything except the lifters and trays
