Just saw this video. I know it has been a minute. Not sure what you are running for power but I would go with tie-bar lifters. The roller may have come apart because the lifters started to rotate. Are any of the lifter trays damaged. Check the cam too because that damaged roller could have damaged you cam lobe. What is your intake? A holley lower with a different upper?
Yo my boy am through the same shit but me is the cam bearings an rod bearings I have to pull my motor out I have a 2015 5.3 suburban Lt I need help my first time pulling out a motor an 2nd time of taking the heads off
That metal that ended up in the cylinder came from somewhere and the intake valve isn’t missing a chunk. Did you check inside your intake or throttle body for missing bolts? Good luck getting it back together quickly without to many issues.
It kinda looks like there was something inside banging the chamber of that cylinder. Scars on head side of the chamber and could be the reason the valve and retainer is cracked and broke due to being caught in the valve. Was there anything in the cylinder when you removed the head?
Looking at the video, the cylinder looks ok depending on a closer look of course. The lifters are shot, definitely a Dod delete is in the future, and that head needs to be reworked and smoothed. How were the push rods? Any bent? Obviously the pistons have to be replaced as well. Everything needs to be taken apart to remove all debris from all areas. Could be a timely process bro if you rebuild, be thorough. The cheapest is to rebuild stock with a Dod/AFM delete. Sorry bro, it’s gonna be costly
@@Cameron_Pena interesting. I'm curious to see what the bottom end looks like. That piston smacked the valve cracking it and the keeper. Prolly bent the pushrod and destroyed the lifter. Crazy amount of damage for how well it was running(relatively speaking). Let us know what you find.
I have heard that the valve train geometry on the lt1 heads is wrong, which causes premature wear in the valve guides same issue the ls7 had.

Looks like cylinders were running too hot and lean.
full rebuild up next. should have ran a compression and leak down test before tearing it all apart.

When you’re putting it back together can you let us know all the torque specs I have a 21 maro and would like to know brotha thank you
I probably won’t be the one putting it together
🤣🤣🤣
Looks like it ate something from not having a air filter on it.
Good possibility

Chop, Chop, Chop 👀
Looks like someone popped into you into ur intake with that big bell throttle body. The lifters dont look like the dod lifters those motor come with.
The dod lifters were still in the lifter trays
Those things are known issues and the lt1 head valve seat on some motors would come out some.

Yes there were metal pieces in the cylinder and in the head on the top side.

@@crimecaise none of the push rods looked bent
Those lifters that fell apart were the ones for the damaged cylinder?
Yes

We in the same boat I just blew the motor in my ss
Damn man
@@Cameron_Pena I want to break down my motor like you doing you should have made a video on that
@@guccidude23 only reason I didn’t was cuz it was the first time I’ve ever done anything like this so I didn’t know exactly what I was doing
@@guccidude23 What caused it? How many miles?
What size headers are those? 2 inch?
1 & 7/8”
It’s gonna be nasty with a cam
GPI ftw 😂
I mean it’s a 70k + mile motor with stock lifters. I haven’t seen anyone put more of a beating on it than me. Haters gonna hate
Ahhhh man
Lets goo first my g💯💪🏻
