Glad you got it figured out man! I had a similar situation on my '93 Jimmy when I went to do Intake gaskets and found a 13MM wrench stuck in the grime of my lifter valley!

Yhup. Looks like Mr. LT1 was on his game.

At least now you've gone through much of this motor again.

$33.80 shipped- old stock, dude is cutting loose cheap...

Heavy duty 153 tooth with weight (stock style)- thicker, welded both sides, non-SFI 29.1, though. I got one and it's stout. Maybe a pound heavier than the stock one:
