Death of an LY2
#14
It's funny as I have the heads torn down off of this thing. As nasty as they were, the guides show minimal wear and the play on the stems of the valves is probably in spec. Hell the valve stems themselves show nothing for wear. I never realized that these have stainless exhaust valves and then just steel intakes. Figured that both would be iron. I am pretty sure you could slap springs on them and new valve seals and just run them. I will be rebuilding them though however.

This one ???
Cyl 5 & 6 had alot of water in it.
Needness to say we didnt end up puttin the cam in it and decided to look for another motor for the swap.
Supposedly only had 100k miles on it too.
I dont think that 100k without a oil change would look like that.

It might very well be coolant..... But without having the sludge analyzed all I know is this. The heads are crack free and the head gaskets are perfect. So unless the block is leaking I really don't see how it had a coolant leak.
That said, have analysis kits booting around I never use I will take some sludge in and see what is in it. Might pressure test the heads myself to be sure, but the shop I go to is pretty trust worthy.
