Just pulled my engine out to swap to a 5.3. Has around 85000mi. passenger side compression was good all were between 205-220. drivers side both front cylinders were at 215 3rd cylinder back was at 175 and rear was only 100 after pulling the head off looks like an exhaust valve was burnt up. You can still see the crosshatch on the cylinder walls. Pistons only have carbon on them right now i can see no damage to them. shortblock will not be disassemblied. i would recommend changing the rings or at least checking them. looking to sell locally im located in NJ. I would like to get just a few 100 for it not sure what good price on this is so i will also take offers. Just found out this is an aluminum block part number rf-1L2E. Pretty much a mach 1 engine. Also it is a 6bolt crank il let the flywheel go with it also want this out of the garage. pm me and lets get a deal done! pics will be up later on today. note that everything i need to transfer over to the new shortblock will not be included.
