2011 gs convertable supercharged
New here sorry
looking for some advice
Last year bought a supercharged 2011 gs with x pipe cam and full length headers.
First cyl 8 had a missfire then clearex up after oil change then cyl 4 wich went from bad to a screaching lifter sound. Just took heads off and cyl 4 and 8 ex lifter is stuck. Grrr 8 out of 16 lifters sound like gravel in roller bearings. Do i pull block or just put a cam and lifters and oil pump in??

This exact scenario happened to me, and I had the engine pulled because metal shavings scored the cam bearings. I could have just rebuilt it with stock components since the bottom end was fine (in theory), but I took the opportunity to forge the bottom end.
