That is what is was. Then the motor came out. The heads and rotating assembly is fine the cam, bearings, and block are not. Look like the block hard a small crack that leaked the coolant into the oil. The bearings and the cam showed some wear. Getting a new LS3 block to rebuild the motor. They think the head studs were over torqued when they were installed in the motor and that was the cause of the crack. The cam bearings were broken up too which looked like a result of improper installation. Their were other signs of a rushed assembly. At least the super expensive parts made it through unscathed.
