I'm Awesome
Okay gentlemen, I have a 220k 5.7 vortec out of my 97 Suburban in my garage. It had excellent oil pressure still when pulled. Should I put the heads back on and keep running it?
The motor developed a slight coolant leak into cylinder #4 because of a cracked head so I need to get some refurbished heads to put on.
I don't have a ton of money but am slightly worried about the 220k the shortblock has on it! Can these go for 300k??? The cylinders look good, you can still see the cross hatching in the cylinders.
I would definitely change the timing set or at least the chain since it has developed significant slack. I would probably leave the oil pump alone since oil pressure is great. Also I would put new elgin lifters in it. Thoughts guys? Thanks.
