[ATTACH=full]1430[/ATTACH]Then the road block happened. I removed the lifter retainer plate and pulled lifters one at a time to inspect and put assembly lube on rollers. Started at the back and when I got to the second from the front it happened. Found the lifter roller chewed up. [ATTACH=full]1431[/ATTACH]Inspected the camshaft and it looks fine. If the cam was chewed, I would have just put the lifter back in and left it for now because the engine has to come out to pull the camshaft. [ATTACH=full]1432[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1433[/ATTACH]But since the cam isn’t chewed up or flaking I’m replacing the lifter. GM parts direct dot com has it listed for $17. Found one on Amazon for $19 (still AC Delco) but won’t get here til Wednesday. I can pay an extra $3.99 to get it Tuesday which I would do but Hawk Chevy right down the road has the same prices as GM parts direct so I’m gonna check with dealer on Monday before I order. I’m so close to having this thing done. Another hour it would be getting filled with coolant and then all I have to do is change the oil. Oh well, one more day won’t kill me. But may kill my truck.
