I had a friend who offered a used engine but I didn't want to have to pull an engine that supposedly ran but he didn't know anything about it otherwise.Thats sucks! If you were closer I would have just given you a 4.3 out of my parts blazer.
At least with the Jasper, you wont worry about anything or waste your time and money trying to fix a used engine.
I have a 4.3 sitting in my backyard from my 99 Silverado that got swapped to a 5.3 due to low oil pressure. Engine still ran fine when I pulled it...no knocking or rattling. I was thinking about rebuilding just for the experience, but probably won't happen, as I've got other projects popping up.
I'd hate to just drag it to the landfill, but I'm afraid that's what will happen, you know... Can you post a photo of your engine?
Maybe I can convince myself to rebuild it and donate it to someone in need? Lots of folks run this engine day-to-day...
Stooopid freakin paint! I washed the long block, acetone and used a tack rag. I primed and let it dry. I sprayed paint in light coats and overnight the freakin paint lifted! Apparently the primer and paint weren't compatible.
I'll take a picture of it tomorrow.I have a 4.3 sitting in my backyard from my 99 Silverado that got swapped to a 5.3 due to low oil pressure.

I didn't check the type because there were both duplicolor and I haven't had issues before. This was their engine primer with ceramic which I haven't used before with Indigo Blue Metallic. I did several light coats about 20-30 minutes apart for the primer then I came back about 4 hours later and hit it with the blue. It looked great that night but the next day it was blue potato chips.What paint and primer were you using? I don't think I've had paint lift since I wa a kid trying to use lacquer and enamel together.
