Definitely time for a full delete unfortunately. If you need me to put together a budget friendly delete kit for you I probably could. I have most the parts on hand just need a few more. It would give you time to save up while I put it together. Sorry for the delayed response I had a busy week last week.

The cam lobe looks much better than this roller. Gonna take a chance and run it. Replacing my injectors while I am this far. They look pretty bad. Do I need to replace the high pressure fuel pump, or any other lines seals in the fuel line? I am replacing the 2 lines that feed from the HPFP to the rails, but not sure if the pump is a replace if removed item. I have my computer back from LS1, so I am hoping my family car will be running in the next few days.

Well that makes total sense then. I would also recommend upgrading to better pushrods like the ones I offer then while you're at it. If you can afford to do it I recommend doing the full AFM delete mechanically on this era of GM v8. These are also certainly a bit more work to work on compared to the previous generation. If you end up paying somebody to do it it will cost you quite the chunk of change.

I forgot to add that the pushrod was pretty bent. And it is a 2015 5.3. Iu2019m debating taking the head off myself or letting a shop do it.

I haven't in personally experienced it yet but I did see it at the dealership once and have heard of it several times. My guess is this is a newer direct injection engine. It doesn't happen that often but when it does it typically bends the pushrod as well as damaging the lifter. I often tell people if they have a bent to pushrod to make sure that they check the top of the lifter to make sure it's still intact. It can be caused from a couple different things, one could be the pushrod interfering (newer 2014+) and I sell a replacement for that on my website. The other option is that the VLOM is leaking and partially activating the lifter causing it to fail thus causing the pushrod to hammer against it unevenly which eventually damages it. When that happens it's best to install the VLOM plug and a disable AFM in the tune
