My Cheap Escalade was Hiding Some Serious Engine Damage!

I bought this 2009 Escalade ESV Luxury from Copart through a brokerage service. It has 153,000 miles, the title is clean, and last video we determined it had no compression on cylinder 7. Today I'm going to try to fix that.

Recently my wife bought her a 2015 Silverado 5.3 with a blown engine for cheap. Did a DOD delete and a stage 1 comp cam, shorty headers, replaced all bearings, gaskets, rings and oil pump. Got her some big goofy wheels. As a diehard Ford guy I was very impressed how easy it was to rebuild a 5.3.

That's how I got my 6.2L block. The guy ran it hot. When it cooled he started it and heard a bang bang. He turned it off quick. When the engine was torn down the seat had dropped and made contact with the piston and broke the piston. The piston pin came up and nicked the cyl wall a couple times. I was able to have 1 sleeve replaced and I'm turning it into a Ls3 for my swap. The L92 from 08-09 were non Dod. Mine is a 2010 which is a L94 that is a Dod engine. It isn't any more lol. I plugged the towers.

@SteveMelissaMcAdams 5 ай бұрын

A quick basically no cost fix short of a head gasket would have been to pull the head and pull the offending valve then tap the seat back in and then peen around the seat with a punch to secure it and would never pop back out. Do it to rest while in there to save some future grief. I have done this several times in race engines and works like a charm

Random but it astonishes me the lengths to which auto makers go to engineer garbage airboxes/intakes that literally EVERYONE hates. lol An '09 like that with "only" 153k miles, makes one think there was a certain amount of maintenance neglect from previous owner(s). I have a '12 Yukon that has had a few issues surrounding "deferred maintenance" but even @210k miles the engine itself is in great condition.

that tool came from a diy backyard mechanic using a pushrod ground down at angle. i still have one laying around from early 2000s figured someone copyed it by now. could there of been a chance the valve was just stuck? ive let engines sit throughout a year and when doing a comp test ive ran into issues where the valve just wasnt seated and just needed a lil tappy tap with a hammer up top. usually cast iron heads tho-never had a guide failure yet

You're lucky the seat partially dropped. If it fell out All the way it would have grenaded. My wife has an RX 350 and it actually broke a valve spring and it broke in precisely the correct position so that the keepers would not fall out it was literally a mouse's whisker from grenading and I assume that this is the same

And putting a 105 when it calls for 140 will absolutely cause issues.

Completely irrelevant. The tune in those things runs fine with 87... and the fuel wouldn't cause the seat to drop anyway. Anything from just too loose initial press fit to getting too hot. Valve seat issues and aluminum heads isn't anything out of the ordinary
