Small crack in piston wall

[SoM-T/A]

I have a small crack in my back right piston wall. How much does this normally run to fix?

I would say you would need a whole new block i dont think they can fix that.

cant they bore it out and put a sleeve or something in it? Not sure how much it runs though. Also could be talking out my ass.

more than likely it will be cheaper to pick up a ls1 or ls6 block.

Yes, you can resleeve the block. However, not many places can do it, and even fewer that I would trust to do it. And the price is outrageous. A new GM block is much cheaper.

found a used LS1 for 1,450 with 45k miles on it.

Cant you put a 5.3l block in and have it be better than the stock ls1 block?
So i have heard.

21 fewer cubic inches and 140 extra pounds on the nose. Do the math

Sounds like perfect sense NOT to, i was thinking crazy sorry guys

[SoM-T/A]

What if it is only a scratch and not a crack. Do I still have to bore it or replace then engine? Or is there some way to fix the scratch.

[Justin23454]

If its a scratch I think you can just hone it? Get some pictures

[shady milkman]

If it is a scratch, and the ls1 hasn't had a hone before..yes it will fix it.

[2000ls1tranz]

lol u dont get a ls2 or3 to replace it

[garygnu65]

you can bore the alum.5.3 blocks out to 3.90 .

[pajeff02]

To my knowledge, the sleeved aluminum blocks have a maximum overbore allowance of .010".

Does this look like a good deal?
