The noise is forward of the bellhousing I'm pretty sure. In the engine.Do you still have your stock TC. I would put that in and try it first, before I looked for another engine.

Anyway I bought this today. A 6.0 was in the longer term plans. This just sped it up a bit. By the time I sell the accessories from it and anything usable from the 5.3 I'll be into it for 800 to 1000 I'm guessing.
2003-6.0(LQ4) with 9000 miles.

On the 2 that I pulled yesterday, at the guide hole there were a half dozen flakes near the hole. The hole showed just a smidge of shiny not egg shaped. If anything rubbed I think it was the originals long ago. The pushrods themselves showed absolutley no sign of rubbing against anything. The ends were shiney from riding in the lifter and rocker.The pushrod guide hole was egg-shaped due to the bent pushrod. Only way to fix it, drill it out larger and press in a bushing.....or buy another head.

I'll tear down the 5.3 when I get it out. I'm thinking a rod bearing, piston, or wrist pin on #8 cylinder.
