well it seems my motor has a rattle in it today. i had to follow some friends up to Baltimore today and the lead guy was driving like a freaking moron. i think he thought we were in nascar. i think the ole 5.3 didn't like it to much. now it clatters. but i can tell you at 80mph i can get 5psi boost with only 37% throttle. so i just want to confirm. a 5.3l can go to 3.903" bore correct? i'm looking at the Wiseco pistons. from what i have read and remember the 2618 Alloy is a good turbo piston alloy. correct?
oh and for the first time EVER i seen smoke out the back side when i got on it and my pcv vent was puffing smoke at idle.

I put 20 over on my original 5.3. Had custom blower pistons made for it. I only got 5K miles out of it before the thrust bearing failed. But I loved every mile of it. It my 6.0 never felt as strong (out of boost or getting into boost). Sorry to hear you obviously have a failure.

Thrust bearing? What caused it?
