On the 2020-2025 Chevrolet Corvette LT2, the C8 Corvette uses the LT2 6.2L V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM) which can deactivate any combination of cylinders. While the LT2 is generally reliable, some owners report lifter tick similar to the AFM issues on truck engines. The DFM system uses the same collapsible lifter technology. GM has released updated VLOM and lifter designs for the LT2. The tick is most noticeable on cold starts and usually disappears when warm. Severe cases may require lifter replacement.
Mild cold-start tick is considered normal on LT2 by many in the Corvette community. Persistent tick that does not go away when warm warrants inspection. GM has updated VLOM and lifter designs. A DFM disabler (Range Technology) can be used as a preventive measure. Full lifter replacement is rarely needed on C8.
