I would get another longblock. I would also get another intake manifold. If your failure was anything like mine, the valves let fragments and piston pieces into your intake. You dont wanna recycle anything into your new motor. Thats just my opinion

yes, a broken spring did it all!!! i wasnt at the track, i was just doing a few WOT runs when it happened... damn it!!
one more question: when i bought this motor there was alot of questions if it was a LQ4 or LQ9, i know you can tell on the pistons, but i dont know any better so can some one that knows tell me which one is it? that motor was out of a 2005 yukon denali AWD
thanks...
