Pulled the the heads off yesterday to see what the problem was. Much to my supprise, the head gasket looked great. But look at what I did find in the #6 cylinder:












I did not see any signs of detonation in any of the other 7 cylinders so I am guessing the rod just couldn't take it any more, broke then slung the piston into the wall punching a hole in it. It did it's duty with 120K hard miles though so I am not complaining.

 

Damn Kennny. Looks like someone dropped a grenade in # 7. I guess you won't be using that block.

 

Man how did that happen.... Is that what happened when you tryed to keep up with quicksilverado at the track . Sorry to see that happened man if you need a block I still have my 4.8 short block for sale. Good luck

He had a tougher job than that he was trying to hang with Cablebandit.

 

can you put a new sleeve in there and it still be a good block?

 

Engine= We need a smiley with a trumpet. Sorry about your loss...hope all goes well with whatever you do to replace it.

 

That's what too much "NNNNAAAAAWWWWZZZZZ" will do for you. What tranny are you going to put behind the new engine. Please don't tell me a stock 4l60e. That makes my stomach turn thinking about those POS trannies.

 

Ouch......

 

hahahahaha. now those are some funny *** pics. he had told me on the phone what he discovered so i had this little image in my head and sure enough, thats what i had imagined. damn that was ugly.
