Damn...sorry to hear that, I bet that sounded horrible when you cranked it over. Don't know if it can be repaired, looks like it's in a vital spot close to the piston and all.
that sucks!! how did that nut drop in the cylinder you had the intake off what were you changing? and that engine is gone including the one head you are better of buying a used one or upgrade to something else 6.0 etc

thanks , i'll check it
LOL .
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.

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
