Must be the angle. All pistons are fine. Thinking a stretched rod bolt. Spinning it to 6900 so many times took its toll on them

With photobucket on the phone you have to click the link, go to the bottom and click view full site, go back to here and click the link again then it will show.

It's annoying but figured that out a while ago

True dat. Set idle at 3000rpm and you'll be set.

Okay. Back on topic. Should I drop the diff to pull the pan or should I pull the motor? I can drop the diff and oil pan in a day. If its a spun rod bearing or stretched bolt could I repair it while its in the truck? Or would I be better off just buying a used lq4 to swap in
