i would just use your crank and what ever else you can and build a 6.0 like this,, brand new 850 bucks

or you can buy a new ls3 for about 1300 if you look hard enough

I didn't know there was a nut inside the cylinder , until this happened.

If it's just the sleeve, it can be fixed. However, it's probably going to be cheaper and less hassle to find another LS1 pull-out and install it.
Also, the LS3 engines have a different reluctor wheel on the crank. It's not exactly a "drop in" swap without changing reluctor or converting to an E38 PCM.

reluctor wheels are pretty easy to change. A little heat and they come right off. Throw the replacement wheel in the oven at 350 degrees for a half hour or so and it will slip right on.

I realize how easy they are to change. I swap over 10-15 reluctors a month.
The internet is always quick to yell out extreme recommendations. "Hey it's blown up, throw a 427 in it!!"....
He doesn't need an LS3 and I'm sure if the OP had intentions of spending a bunch of money on another engine he would have specified so. The fact is, this fix can either be done by re-sleeving or another pull out shortblock. Simple, effective, cheap. An LS3 is an awesome swap to do, but right now while that engine still holds a pretty high value, it's anything but cheap (unless you get lucky).

Yea we are not thinking about fixing that , but I wonder how it can be fixed ? I mean what exactly they do to fix it ?
ok , do I install the ls1 reluctor wheel or another ? how do I know which one will fit ?
noob on this
