I would have Don or someone who knows LS1s look at it and listen to it in person before you do anything else.

bring it back to Don! Moron!!! CHANGE THE OIL! sounds like a rocker. but its a shitty video so who knows. bring it back but i wouldnt recommend driving it!

Problem is if it's not a rocker (which it really sounds like bottom end) then it's a waste of the tip without a backup plan, rebuilding this motor is likely out of the question as it is a 98'..

I'll give him a grand for the car.

cars gonna sit (again) we'll find him a beater for now. see what happens come next spring.

well he's heard people tell him that since his clutch 1st went, nevermind how many times it was said after the motor went. I'm sure he'd rather see it as a lawn ornament than sell it cheap to someone. (other than me which isn't out of the question come next year)

then ill buy it from you for a grand?

thanks for you're lack of input...

Anytime. The options have been laid out for ya. Bring it back to don or have it be a yard decoration. Offer still stands.

offer's invalid. I'd pay him less and have it running in a month or two but then I'd sell it. he'd rather it sit, as we can understand this is making him a bit depressed. I'll never give up on the kid or the bird, it deserves a good healthy motor, and we'll find one.

he's just never had much luck with any f-body he's had. Just happens. I'll hold off with any further ideas till next spring. thanks though.
