Not sure what this is, or if it's normal
 
I cleaned up my 5.3 a few days ago. I'm not a competent engine builder, I'm learning and this is my first one... so I don't really know what everything is.

I noticed this thing that kind of resembles a piston, and noticed it wasn't really complete... are they suppose to be like this?

All I needed to know, I kind of forgot what it all looked like before he took off all the accessories to fit the motor in the back of my car

Hopefully something better than the previous owner.

Looks like it may be a real "learning" experience for you!
Good luck with the project and have fun!

You're sure it's not 147,000 miles?

Arc00TA Jan 20, 2009 03:00 AM
I think 147 miles + a brush fire or tactical nuclear explosion is what he means. That thing looks awful.

220,000 kms or 147,000 miles

The flash makes it look worse than what it actually is. I live in East coast Canada, that is normal and expected for a motor that age and that many kilometers from a truck.
