My friend did that. He ended up having to pull the motor to swap in a different crank.

I just spend two weeks installing cam LTs and DOD delete and now this happens , I wonder if the nose of the crankshaft can be tapped , it's about 4" long and use a thicker bolt instead of pulling the motor out?

I guess I'm to heavy Erick, that thing just snap, I will try everything I can to get it out or make new thread for a bigger bolt, if nothing works and I have to take the engine out to put a new crack then I will just replace the 5.3 with a forged 6.0 even if it takes me 6 months.
