Are you sure you toasted the motor.
I'm sure the block is fine sounds like a rod bearing. I'll pull the motor next weekend and look at it
I have a 4.8L shortblock I'd sell for about $300
Do you have cats? If you do start their mine sounded like the bottom was coming out of my motor. Beat on them with a hammer while it's running and see if it changes. Just my 2cents I bought a new 5.3 because I thought that's what it was.
I'll keep that motor in mind I wanna tear mine apart first to see how bad it is
And no I don't have cats, but that did happen to a buddy of mine
500 bucks takes my 2010 4.8 shortblock with ls6 cam it has about 22k miles :)
before you tear it apart. check your oil if it has metal in it then it is bad. you could possibly have loose converter bolts
Maybe
Or cracked flywheel. I thought my motor was toast,knocking real bad. Turned out it was the flywheel. So hopefully thats the case.Quote:
