how much did it cost?Alrighty guys I said I would be back, so it took me a little longer than I thought but basically pulled the engine and rebuilt it. New everything besides rings,pistons, and bearings. New oil pump, timing, cam, cam bearings, lifters, trays, seals, valve seals. It was a journey but all in all not that bad.
She’s on the road and been smogged, should have reg and new plates within two days. Windshield was cracked replaced it, needs a dash skin, tinted it, once windshield dries I’ll tint that. On the hunt for some floor mats, black grill, CarPlay radio. Other than that she’s running smooth, may pick up a new 12v battery to make sure everything is solid. Ohhh and have stuff to service trans, haven’t done it yet. I do have a minor coolant leak on the passenger side above the ac I’m not sure what that’s about I’ll have to look into it.
Lifter on seven was stuck and ate the cam, the bearing weren’t terrible but I replaced them anyway.that's awesome you got it running.
did you find the bad part that caused to all?
sounds like you replaced the cam? what cam did you go with.

I went with stock everything including the cam.
Believe it or not I ordered the OEM GM cam through AutoZone online only because I was able to use the 20% coupon they have with home delivery. Worked out perfect and in fact did come from GM.ahh cool, were you able to source the cam from gm parts?
that's awesome news it was still available. I figured it would be long discontinued.Believe it or not I ordered the OEM GM cam through AutoZone online only because I was able to use the 20% coupon they have with home delivery. Worked out perfect and in fact did come from GM.
Everything else I used Rockauto.
Correct, originally I wanted to delete all of it but I heard conflicting stories with it being the hybrid model and read one where they couldn’t smog which would have been a problem for me to register it. So just opted to replace everything, afm is active and working all though I’m probably going to buy a range module to disable it.that's awesome news it was still available.
