Finally got a running 65 C10

That clarifies it thanks.

Dealing with a big oil leak on my 2021 single cab long bed Silverado with the 5.3. Almost to 80,000 miles and it leaks like an 8 inch diameter circle in 30 minutes. I just put a quart in it.

Likely it hasn’t dropped a lifter or screwed up the transmission like my wife’s 2020 trail boss. It’s been five grand doing a DOD delete with a new cam and lifters, and now the transmission is going out or at least the torque converter is. 80,000 miles as well. I just don’t make them like they used to. The LS platform was the last great one.

That's ridiculous dealing with that at 80k miles

Well I broke a tooth on the comp cams timing chain sprocket.

Im tempted to just run the damn thing, you can see I’ve already installed the chain and was getting ready to install the front cover before I had second thoughts…..****!!!!

This sets me back 80 bucks and a week

Ok, I'm really curious as to HOW you did that?

Personally, I'd run it. I'd say there's a 99.9999% chance that it would never cause an issue.

Just make sure there is no burr or raised area that might rub the chain from the break.

I think you'll be ok to run it.
