Another LS2 lifter question
I saw another thread about LS2 lifter failure and have a question, but didn't want to hijack that thread. I have an 05 coupe with about 80k miles on the clock. I keep it in a heated garage, so it's never very cold when I start it in the morning (I keep the t-stat on 50), but I'm starting to hear a little clatter when I first start it. It goes away after the engine warms up. Is this a sign of pending lifter failure?

It's impossible to say but chances are it's normal. No point worrying (too much) about a problem you don't have. I'd keep an eye (or an ear) on it and if the noise significantly worsens then have it checked out.
