This was a 5.3 that I bought for my C10 but I quickly found that one bank was full of water when I pulled the plugs out and attempted to rotate it. It squirted water out across the garage. Two cylinders were rusted up and wouldn't rotate completely. I got a refund on the motor and was told to throw it away. I did not want to invest in boring, buying pistons and bearings for this motor. So we were about to recycle the engine. The day before we took it to the scrap yard I got an idea for a fun learning experiment and presented it to my YouTube audience. The viewers sponsored the project and it made for a fun time. The idea was to sand paper out the bores, without disassembling it, until it would rotate. Then slap the heads back on and run it on an engine stand. This would show us how an engine runs with poor quality cylinder walls and also show everyone what it takes to make an LS engine run all by itself on an engine stand. Then one could apply what they see on the engine stand to their own swap project. Everyone liked the idea and many gearheads decided to donate to help make this project possible. Once we ran it on the stand (also in the "Squirter" video playlist), it ran so well that we decided to slip in a 228/230 cam and drop it into my '92 Camaro to make LS Fest in a month to see how long the engine will hold up. Before assembling the motor, I had the heads milled .045". Once the engine was together and running well, I also decided to cut out the rocker stud lumps from the intake ports of the heads. To fit the character of the Squirter I left the heads on the engine while working the ports. This project has been a blast! ======================================== Follow ME!
