I thought it was on my stripe at first!
Bummer on the metal flake oil. Hope you can find a good JY engine. What about overhauling that one?
My take is your just stating something that happened to your truck. Your not asking a technical question of anyone, nor seeking technical advise. You are just stating your engine blew up and you guess you need a new engine. Its more of a general statement as opposed to a technical thread.
Tough crowd......

Well, I did happen to find a jy 5.9, its from a 98 and man does it look good when I cracked it open. I had my doubts, 220k on the odo, pulled it anyways. When I got it to the shop the thing looked great heads were not cracked, crosshatching is still on the cylinder walls, no sludge, cam, pushrods, lifters, bearing all looks great. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it was a rebuilt about 15-25k ago.
From what I understand, to do a 5.2 swap to 5.9, all I need is a new torque converter (externally balanced from a 5.9), flex plate (from a 5.9 as well) and a ecu, which i'v been shooting some emails to hemifever for some questions on a tune.
How about injectors? are they the same?
