Wondering if anyone has had any experience with putting one of these in and if it was worth it I have a 1998 Chevy k1500 5.7 and I put a bunch of money in the truck already and want to get a motor that will be reliable. Thanks

Yep, mass produced crap. I won't order another head or engine from a parts house again. Straight to the machine shop with all of them!

"Production-line" rebuilt engines and engine parts tend to be crap. Everything's built to the loose side of "spec"; they're put together already worn-out.

If it’s the “PowerTorque” branded engine, run. It’s really an ATK who make engines for all the parts stores - oreilly, Napa, advance, autozone etc. even summit racing and Jegs carry some of their junk.
Oreillys has the option to sell you a different brand through their “OSP” (outside purchase).

Bought a parts house 6.5 diesel for a K3500 and it is definitely questionable. I don't know if they reused gaskets or what, but it is definitely a road oiler. Leaks about the same as the 170k mile engine that came out.
