    Your guess was correct, That was a pretty awesome guess man, thanks. I got the piston and connecting rod through the top. I can totally see the bend in the connecting rod. Is it ok to just put the new one in or am I screwed for grinding away that little bit from the counter weight? Appreciate your input.

    Thank you for your reply, great info. I agree and would love to put a good wrench engine in, slightly out of my budget. When I was removing the oil pan. I remembered my truck having a knock and it turned out to be a counter weight barely hitting the bottom of one of the pistons. I reached out for help and someone said to grind the counter weight so it no longer makes contact. It was barely making contact so I did that and thinking about it now what I took off is probably the same measurement of how short the piston is from the deck. So I'm assuming these are related? Pardon my ignorance.

    I wasn't sure if I could remove the piston without removing the engine. Thanks CamGTP for the info, I'm going to remove it today and check it out.

    Hello, I have a 2000 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3Liter with 246,000 miles. I have a code P0306 for misfire Cylinder #6. I have changed the spark plugs and wires. Then did a compression test and cylinder #6 had low compression at 120psi. All other cylinders had between 180-190psi. Did a leak down test and heard air flowing through the oil filler spout when #6 was at TDC on the compression stroke. Removed the head, valves looked good. When I cranked the engine by hand, the piston for cylinder 6 would not go up all the way to be flush with the top of the cylinder like the other pistons were, it would come up to 1/8” before the top, the go back down. What causes this and how can I fix it? Do I have to replace the piston? Or?? Thank you for taking the time to read this, any input would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you very much for replying Jsdirt. Yes, you are correct it would crank but, no start prior. I picked up intake and valve cover gaskets yesterday. Right now I have the intake manifold off and the valve covers off. On the drivers side 2 of the valves are open, the pushrods are all the way up. The rocker arms for these are in an opposite position than all the rest. The are right next to each other but, are for different cylinders. Do you know how I can close them so all the rocker arms are in the same position? I really do appreciate your time.

    Thank you for replying Niners 365. This is a very loud ticking and I checked all around the pulleys, belts, and fan, no such luck. I took the valve cover off of the passenger side everything looked ok nothing loose. Then the drivers side I found 2 of the valves open and the push rods all the way up. They are right next to each other but, not the same cylinder. Also the valves on the other side are much cleaner than this side. How can I get the valves to close, (unstick them)? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hello I have a 2000 GMC Sierra 5.3 4x4, it has been sitting for 6 months. First thing I did was change the oil, next I drained the old gas and put new gas in. The truck would crank but not turn over. I replaced the fuel filter, and replaced the fuel regulator. Prior to replacing the fuel regulator I had no fuel pressure, gas was leaking through the diaphragm of the regulator into the intake manifold. Once I replaced the above items fuel pressure was up to 50psi with key in start position. The truck fired right up no problem but, there was a very loud ticking sound that sped up and got louder when I pushed on the gas. I immediately shut it off. I checked the oil and the dipstick smelled like gas. I drained the oil and there was a lot of gas mixed in with the new oil. I replaced the oil filter and filled it with new 5W-30 Mobile 1 high mileage synthetic oil. It fired right up again and the loud ticking sound was still there. Oil pressure was good I let it idle for a few minutes and the ticking got a little bit quieter but, still loud. Check engine light was on and the codes were P0300 and P0200. I hooked up a Noid light to each injectors wiring harness at idle and every one was firing. I removed the fuel injectors and cleaned them, did OHM test on each one and all of them had consistent readings. I do not know what else to do from here? Any help, direction, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read this. My truck has 245,000 miles on the original engine.
