Re: 6.0 ls rocker arms clatter

That’s why I run LS7 lifters. They have a pretty wide range of pre-load.

The problem with LS7 lifters is you cannot figure out who makes them anymore and if they are the good ones or the junk ones.

I usually buy Morel or Johnsford. Saves a lot of headaches down the road.
