Anyone running GPI LS3 OEM lifters with CHE trunnions.
Has anyone purchased the LS3 factory rocker arms with CHE trunnions pre installed from GPI? I was going to reuse my factory ones and install the trunnions but for the price it doesn't sound like a bad deal to have them shipped with the work complete. IMO it makes the installation that much easier. Just looking for feedback before moving forward.

If you don't have an arbor press I suppose I would buy them already installed. The press cost me like $40 from harbor freight and the install was incredibly easy just took a little bit of time

Just depends on if you want to do the work or not. You can do it with sockets and a nice C-clamp, too. See photo here:

Exactly what I bought. It made pressing the old bearings out a piece of cake. I had more difficulty with my cheap ass snap ring pliers.
