{"product_id":"gen-4-ls-5-3l-head-gasket-and-bolt-kit","title":"Gen 4 LS 5.3L Head Gasket and Bolt Kit","description":"The AFM SDAFMD53 is a kit designed to eliminate the Displacement on Demand (DOD) or Active Fuel Management (AFM) system in compatible GM vehicles equipped with the 5.3L Gen 4 LS engine. This modification can permanently address issues like 'ticking' lifter noise and ensure consistent engine performance by preventing cylinder deactivation.\n\nThe kit includes essential components for the conversion, such as MLS head gaskets, GM TTY head bolts, MLS exhaust manifold gaskets, 8 AFM tower plugs, and 4 non-AFM lifter trays. Optional components like Delphi\/LS7 style non-AFM lifters, a factory-spec non-AFM camshaft, and a Diablosport tuner are available for selection to complete the installation.\n\nIt is critical to note that this kit is intended for use with a non-DOD\/AFM camshaft. Using your factory DOD\/AFM camshaft with this delete kit will result in engine misfires. Furthermore, computer tuning is absolutely required to properly disable the DOD\/AFM system in the PCM, preventing error codes and ensuring correct engine operation. For vehicles manufactured before 2007 that use a 3-bolt factory camshaft, a different single-bolt camshaft (part number SDR51721) is required, as these specific vehicles cannot utilize the suggested single-bolt cam.\n\nThis kit is compatible with 2007-2018 GM Gas Trucks\/SUVs, 2005-2019 Corvettes, and 2010-2024 Camaro V8 models. An optional cam swap gasket kit is also available, which includes a water pump gasket, OEM crankshaft bolt, timing cover gasket, and front main seal. Please be aware that this product cannot be shipped to California as it is not California C.A.R.B. E.O. Compliant.","brand":"AFM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52686842364216,"sku":"SDAFMD53","price":214.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/662147208.webp?v=1784877391","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/gen-4-ls-5-3l-head-gasket-and-bolt-kit","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
