Re: Chasing problems and niw this? - 2000 Sierra

Here's an update. Thanks to all for the advice thus far! For some reason I'm having problems uploading pics into photobucket..

I pulled the pass side head and found #6 piston to be cracked all to , missing the skirting, and rings all bent up. The cyl wall didn't look too bad considering that the rod was flopping around in there. I'll keep that motor for future use. (maybe)

I found a motor with 144k that I heard run, but didn't do any compression testing or anything like that.. I'm really nervous and hoping it all works out good! The shop that sold me the motor is swapping it into my truck so I don't have to deal with it right now.

They got it in and running, but it's still got a random misfire. They didn't use any of the fuel or ignition off the old motor because it's all sitting in my garage at home.
