Dersertson I am on the other side of the fence. Tear the motor apart!! Are you LUCKY??
I know it hurts bad every time you pull a motor apart, $150.00 and gaskets,
oil,filter, RTV, and time, With the amount of time on the engine, I would doubt that any bad damage was done. Check all the bearings and surfaces. Make sure they are smooth with no grooves in them, remike the crank and rod bearings. Double check everything. If OK but it back togeather. Take your time about this. Clean the motor out and air dry. prelube all the surfaces. Take the dampeners (springs) out and run it for 20 minutes at 2000 rpm with the one spring. After change the
oil and filter. Cut the filter open and look for any metal flakes or chips in the paper pleats. If not, put the other springs in there and run it.If you find metal partials in there, you got choise A or B. Change
oil and filter and try again or send out to machinist and redo. If the lifter is not spinning the bore may be too tight. Mike both and check the spec. You may have to hone the hole .001" and the problem is fixed. Get a bottle from a GM dealership of EOS oil and assembly the motor with this on all the riding surfaces. Pour the rest in the gallery before you put the intake on. Try and get the motor to fire up first crank. Good luck. If you have any doubt, go back to the machinist, better a little now than a crank resurface, rods resized, major hone job and new pistons and $2,500.00 later of which you don't have today to fit it.
