Removed the oil pan and tray and found more broken lifter pieces. There was 1 piece that I could not find and I was not going to close up the engine knowing there was still loose debris in the engine


After blowing air and inspecting the crankshaft and pistons I ended up finding the missing lifter piece hiding behind the crankshaft reluctor wheel in a cubby hole

Removed the old camshaft and installed the new one in. Got one head in along with rockers.


Also upgrade the rocker arms with the
Michigan Motorsports LS1 Rocker Arms Bronze Bushing Trunion kit.

That's a rowdy stick for a 5.3! Well, I assume 5.3 cuz of the 706 heads. Stall? Gears? Any vids of it running before the failure?

All of which is exactly why I have said time and time again, when you see metal gone, you gotta go find it.
