6.0 swap done with problems!!! help
Well i got the lq9 in my truck but im having some problems. first i have these codes p0300 and p0135 and my ses light will be solid but when i give it a little gas it will start blinking then i let off and its solid? also the battery light is blinking? but my MAIN concern is i have a lot of blow by coming out of the oil filler cap and pcv valve line, i mean alot now this engine sat up for who knows how long and maybe got dry do you guys think the rings are bad and if so what would you recommend and is there a possibility they will re seat themselves. its obviously making to much preasure because i got on it once from 55-75 and it blew the dipstick out and oil went everywhere! please give me your input. thanks

wouldn't hurt to put an ounce of transmission fluid into each sparkplug hole and let it sit like that over night, if the rings are stuck it'll seep in and soak them and hopefully free them.

The plug wire most likely has something to do with the P0300 code. The
P0135 is a O2 sensor malfuction right? did you remove the O2 sensors during the swap? is this truck tuned for the 6.0L?

yes it was tuned by wheatley and i did remove the o2s and if i can figure out which one of the wires broke i can replace it otherwise i will have to buy all new ones. but if its just that one wire i figured the code would show a specific cylinder?

what do you want, the good news, or the bad news.
lets go with good, you have a 6.0 you can rebuild.
bad news your rings are frozen in place by trash, or you have A or some
busted pistons right on the ring letting pressure build in the block.
I understand that the motor sat for a while, but if it was going to run right.
the rings would have been lose and free in the first 5 minutes of running.
you need a new set of wires, the wire you put back together is more then likely
arching all over the place.
how to fix this, easy if the pistons are good.
you have to tear it apart and pop out the pistons.
remove the old rings and clean all the trash out the groves.
hone the cylinder a few times.
install the pistons with new rings.
while your at it, put a polish on the crank and install some new bearrings.
