HELLO!

Post by evanm125 »

Hi I am new to the group, have had my 2013 9c1 caprice for a few weeks now. Just installed some wheels off a Camaro 2020 and they fit great, car sits a little high now but I love the way it fits.

Wasn’t deleted when I bought it and the infamous tick just came up. Don’t have all the time in the world right now, could I get away with just a DOD delete kit until December when I have more time to throw a big cam in. The tick just started yesterday and is intermittent right now. Thanks, I hope to learn a lot from this group

There's an outside chance the lifter failed and didn't take the cam with it. If that's the case, you could potentially pull that one head and replace that one lifter. That's a lot of work for a crummy repair. If you have to go that far in, pull the other head and swap the cam too. Regardless of how much time or money you have, the car needs to be repaired, and it should be done correctly.
My 2 cents (actual street value).

Welcome. I'd swear I'm looking at mine in that pic since I'm also one of the few that doesn't have, or had, the spotlight. Just the wheels are different.
