BLE still makes lifters for the Ecotec. I haven't seen the new ones though if they are different.

you can't run those in the lsj as that shim will be in the center of the head after one heat cycle.

If the lap head is sandcast then it is likely the same as an le5 head.

I thought the HLA slid into a pocket, which would retain the shim?

newp. There were a couple old timers that shimmed the lifters on the 272 cams and the shims slid into the center of the head and hung out there as there is no real way to make them stay put.
