Has been working good to this day

The kit was suitable for my 5.3 engine, and I did not have any issues lining everything up when I did the install. I also did not have to do any adjustments during the install. The gaskets sealed well, and I did not have any fluids leak after I rebuilt everything. The timing chain and oil pump felt of good quality and provided confidence in the overall build of my engine. I feel that I got good value since it had everything I needed to do a cam swap, which made it a simpler, easier project overall. Been some time since the installation, and everything is still functioning well!

Restore AFM.
Renew the V8.

A complete Master AFM/DOD Replacement Overhaul Kit for 2005–2014 Chevy & GMC 5.3L Gen IV V8s—replacing failure-prone active lifters and refreshing the entire top-end to restore smooth, factory-spec performance. No ECU tune required.

Retaining the AFM system keeps your factory fuel economy intact. By upgrading the oil pump and installing fresh OE-spec hardware, you permanently solve the lifter collapse issue while keeping the engine exactly as GM intended.

The root cause of AFM failure is often low oil pressure. Simply swapping lifters isn't enough. Replacing the oil pump, water pump, and timing chain simultaneously ensures the new valvetrain gets the lubrication it desperately needs.

Because this kit restores the mechanical cylinder deactivation hardware using 8 AFM and 8 standard lifters, your factory ECU will operate flawlessly. Just install the components, add fluids, and drive.

Strict Fitment Check: Fits 2005–2014 GM 5.3L Gen IV V8s with AFM/DOD. Requires a 1-bolt camshaft gear. Verify your VIN before purchase.

Follow the fix.

See why a proper AFM repair requires addressing oil pressure alongside top-end hardware.

01

Ticking is the warning—not the repair.

A collapsed AFM lifter reduces valve lift, triggers misfires, and ultimately scores and destroys the camshaft lobe.
