Hey everyone in the process of putting my 5.3 back together I cleaned the pistons up and have two that i think are bad. One has a bunch of pitting on one side and the other has one big pit in it. Was this probably caused by detonation and can i just get two used pistons to put back in? Its a LM7 out of an 03 so not sure if its normal or if the motor had something wrong with it. Also if i can just get a couple of different pistons where should I look? I tried ebay but no luck...Thanks and please help.

Would you mind posting up some pics?

Sounds like detonation, timing could have been a lil too off. Could also be preignition.

Haha, was just going to offer too. I have 7 or 8 out of a 5.3 I have no use for since I just bought a new short block.

Ashton233

That would be great. How much do you guys want for a couple of pistons?

Ashton233

To me this is what forums are all about...showing off your ride, sharing information and helpikng other enthusiasts out. Seems lately they have turned into a troll fest and place where people come to slam each other. I try to do my little part to help and folks have helped me out in the past as well.
