Spun bearings,, the cranks will often polish up, no need to grind it. Here in Oz all our Alloy engines came with a front well pan. And literally thousands of the early ones spun bearings as the Holden pick up tubes were too small coupled with a shallow pan. Later ones were better as the pickup was larger. Though when they run low on oil and stand on the gas all the oil runs away from the pick up. Ford also did this on all their engines, similar result.

Not sure if the 5.3 or 6.0 TB were the same, but a fun fact on the 4.2 TB is that the oil pressure sender is actually just a switch, not a sending unit. GM came up with some weird algorithm to have the ECM display an oil pressure reading on the gauge in the dash cluster. The switch goes to ground if oil pressure drops below 5psi but other than that it doesn't register actual oil pressure levels.

After seeing this I'm very happy that it was changed to a traditional rear sump truck pan. I would love a GM made something similar to the Trailblazer SS now, but I have a feeling that's never going to happen again.

for those who don't know, the cracking between the intake and exhaust valves in the head happens in a lot of heads. The old 426 Hemi's did it. It just doesn't matter in the case of the Hemi's. I know people who ran them on the 1/4 mile track with cracks with no ill effects. So it really depends on the motor as to whether the crack is a problem or not.

I remember when I worked at U-Haul, we'd occasionally find a truck that someone had swapped the engine out of. They had the 6.2 and every so often you'd find one with a 5.3 swapped in. Those trucks we're written off and sold at auction. There were no checks in place, and as far as I know there still aren't, to check the engine after a vehicle is returned. Speaking to some friends who still work there, they're already anticipating finding 5.3 engines in trucks with the new 6.6.

That thing went to the shop 3 times in a year. Q5 he bought used because it was some special edition model with weird seats and when he got 61k Mile's on it, the turbo went. So he offloaded that and bought a new A6 which lasted 4 years until a pulley seized and wrecked the supercharger and a few other things. I always felt it was karma.
