Use good oil and change it regularly
I bought this engine last year, and they guy was having issues with oil pressure. I stored it and have just started to mess with it. I can't believe how filthy it is. Some of the pushrods are actually ground down from where they contact the rocker arms. I briefly looked at a rocker arm last night and it looks like I will need those too. I was sort of surprised that the bearings and crank didn't look too bad. There was sludge in the valley between the lifters about 3/4 of an inch thick. The oil rings were literally packed with sludge. My plan is for a budget build twin turbo setup for a Chevelle that I have had for 25 years.
This engine was out of a 2009 2500 with 90K on it.
