How many miles do you have on the Tahoe?
Pain to have to rebuild it but if you can find another motor to throw in then you can build one the way you want to. Torque monster on the way :twisted:

Make sure ya clean them with acetone until the rags come clean before primer. It will help make the primer stick like glue

Used up a bunch of lint free rags and elbow grease cleaning the up. The blasting didn't leave much of anything behind though. The three coats of paint look good. A slight brown tinge to the dark grey color looks good so far. Gotta wait for it to dry now so I can hit the base of the body bolt pads.

126K. Lifter going out, it is getting loud and runs really bad until it finally build pressure. This is the first SBC I've ever had issues with this soon.
Just came in from doing some fencing, man it's hot out there today. :SOMBRERO:

My mom's neighbor's 5.7L Vortec in his '99 Suburban just went out too. Must be something in the midwest air. We're thinking intake gasket, coolant mixing with oil, etc.

That sounds like a head gasket.

Well the intake gasket was already leaking oil on the outside of the engine, and reading around on forums, there is a coolant passage, so we're thinking intake gasket. It's sitting in the backyard right now. Such a beautiful well kept machine it is too... I swear it looks dang near brand new. Not a spot of rust on it anywhere. 156k.

From what I've read, no matter which gasket it is, at this point, it can still be saved by towing it to a shop, having the gaskets switched out and flushing out the oil and coolant! I'll have to tell him.

That's pretty low mileage for that to happen on a newer engine, especially one that's been taken care of.

Google "GM Intake Gasket Failure". 'Nuff said.
