Noisy lifters 2013 L99
The car has 4k miles on it, 2013 L99. If I don't drive it for a day and start it up in the am, it sounds like gunfire under the hood for about 2-3 seconds then it quiets up.
Is this normal for the lifters to drain down after only a day like that?

No it is not normal. You need to take it to a dealer and have the lifters replaced, and soon before they fail.
There is a bulletin about L99's and bad lifters. GM was suppose to have fixed the issue but apparently some are still getting through. |

First chevy in 18 years and regretting it already? Not acceptable of $40k car in this day of technology. Was gonna do headers/tune, but this rate I don't trust it to go 100k without some engine work or something else failing.
Permagrin....gone :(

The cost of the conversion probably be the same as trading/selling it for a ls3 and not have to screw with it.
What's the worst it going to do? AFM sucks for more reasons than one!!!
