    new motor spun a bearing

    so, I got the motor installed last weekend. 15k mile old LQ9 from an escalade that has been sitting up for a few years. apparently it was hurt when i got it because it spun a rod bearing within 5 miles. my #2intake valve feels like it is now kissing the piston (i JUST got these heads re-done). for the 5 miles that it ran, it was a BEAST. talking about a crappy feeling lol. i was so excited to get that motor into the truck and didnt get a chance to enjoy it. the truck is in the back yard again where it has been sitting for the last 6 months.

    here is an idle clip before everything went south.
