Please help, need some advice / information. I have an '06 5.3l Trailblazer.
It's in the shop (local dealer) and apparently has some internal 'damage' in at least one of the heads. No compression in #6 and low in another.
I'm looking at probably $2-3K to start, I'll know more Monday I guess.
My question is this; do I have any options to do something a little more 'special' if I throw another $2-3K at it? I checked around for prices on an LS1 / LS2 crate motor, but I think I'm looking at > $10K for something like that, and that's outside of my budget. I wonder if some other 'performance enhancements' should be considered while the motor is apart.
I've already upgraded much of the suspension and some more power would be nice if I'm throwing money at it anyway.
Thanks for the help.
