That sucks man! I guess it'll give you a chance to build it up with good parts if you decide to go that route. I'm surprised you didn't pick up any knock. Are you datalogging through the Holley?

Its getting slapped back together with used stock pistons and rods. No nice **** for a 4.3 and I am trying to take a stock block record anyways.

No knock in the logs. A cylinder straight up not firing isn't gonna knock tho.

Steering box has a new arm and is back in the truck. Also went crazy with degreaser and a pressure washer.

And back to work. Assembly time...





I was about to install the heads, but then a spray into the ports revealed a handful of leaky valves. There was also a crack between two valve seats after closer inspection.




So I ended up with my springs and retainers in a freshened set of 181 castings.

Got my JSM solid mounts and a new less rusty distro. Oh and a high volume oil pump.
