We need to pull the head off on the driver side. I wasn't thinking yesterday, you might just have a bent valve or something like that. I started thinking that if you have a hole in the piston it probably wouldn't be running as good as it is. Pull the head off and tell me what you see, I've got a set of 5.3's and one of my stock ones if you didn't melt the piston.

200,270 and I finally killed a lifter... no juice though. Rest of the motor seems fine. Time for a LPE 350, GT2-2 cam, and Patriot LS6 STG III heads!
