Today's teardown, a regular ol' Gen4 Iron block 5.3L V8, the LMG. This is a 310hp engine found in the 2007-2009 Full size 1/2 ton Chevrolet and GMC Trucks. This is the same as the 2010-2013 engine with the exception of VVT.
We've seen a lot of failure modes on these engines on this channel, and this one is no exception. However, what's sad is that this failure was totally repairable. This engine clearly had lengthy oil change intervals which I believe contributed to this failure, however I'm not sure why this wasn't fixed. The good news is that I now have some much needed parts for my shelves, and for the price, I did quite well on this core.

Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage facility in the Saint Louis Missouri area. Part of our model is tearing down core, or bad engines and salvaging good parts for resale. We do not rebuild engines here, we merely supply parts to those that do.

As always, I love all the comments, feedback and even the criticism.

Catch you on the next one!
