MMMM LS GOODNESS.

Carnage revealed.

Lifter dropped, destroyed the piston entirely and the cyl wall is pretty scored up. It is also missing a chunk at the bottom of the wall. Pretty sure new shortblock is needed, but ill talk to a couple shops about resleeving.

Ill take the rest apart this week and then figure out a plan.

That sucks. :frown:

[Goat Blower]

Yeah, that does suck. Reminds me of the damage I found when I pulled my running Evo motor.

[goodhart]

Did it take a chunk out of the bottom of the cylinder wall?

[Halon]

Jus shoot some brake cleaner in there, new piston and rings, then vrooom

[1ViciousGSX]

Who's/what connecting rods are in there? That one looks slightly twisted.

[A//// Guy]

It has an Eagle rods/crank, Mahle pistons in it. Or had rather. lol

Something did take a chunk out of the bottom of the cyl wall. Crank might be shot too since I can see a lot of damage to the oil pan below too. Well see once I get the pan off and the motor on a stand later this week.

Resleeve is a nice idea if the crank and everything else looks ok. Saves a lot of machine work and parts costs, and that head is a stock LS3 so it's cheap to replace.
