I know this is 4 months late but throw a head & gasket on it and compression check that cylinder and if it's good, run it bro, we've blown thru a bunch of those and I must say they'll run in way worse condition than that😂
What turbo kit do you recommend for 5.3? To reach 700-1000hp mark? I wanna swap a 5.3 into my g8 gt cause I heard its the easiest to get into 9s cause 5.3 can handle 800whp easily stock. Let me know! Thanks
