Buying Salvage LQ4
Buying Salvage LQ4 Hey guys... I'm looking to jump into the LSX game and I've come across an LQ4 from a wrecked Yukon. This thing was hit pretty hard... hard enough to shear off the passenger side of the water pump, broke off the TB and the front of the manifold... even popped the freeze plug out of the head. So... do I take a chance on this, even if I can pick it up cheap???
Make sure the block isn't cracked where the starter bolts on. When they are hit that hard it usually cracks there. And also check that the manifolds aren't pulled away from the heads, cuz that's a problem area too. The price is nice, but I would check it real close.
That's scary... but for $350.... If that's not much to you, then yeah, you might chance it. I mean, that's right on the edge for me. If it were an LS2 or L92 I wouldn't think twice!
Wil they let you do a compression/leakdown test on it?

i picked one up that was in a little bit better condition......that one looks pretty rough.....350.00 is a great deal.....but as they said.....make sure at a minimum the block isnt cracked.......sitting on it's side you are going to have some rust lines on the cylinder walls.....that means going straight to the machine shop for a hoan and new freeze plugs....
