Yeah, pretty much the reason I'm doing them right here. I don't plan on going beyond cam-only I just wanted to do as much preventative maintenance as I could with the cam install. (One and done, you know? I already bought all the parts.)
The LS7 suffer from the same issues that the rest of them do, they eventually rotate and wipe out a lobe or the wheel fails. People report many failures with LS7 lifters like increased noise. look on yellow bullet or LS1tech
