About a month ago my GM's personal work truck, a 98' Chevy with a 5.7, blew an oil cooler line and quit. They towed it to our shop, we fixed the line and topped it up with oil. Went to crank it and it was seized(I wasn't there for that part). The other day the warehouse guys went to push it out of the way and one of the guys decided to crank it over. Bastard fired right up. Idles with no weird noises with 30 PSI of pressure. We blasted it around the industrial park, took it down the road. Runs fine, no weird noises, no rod knock. I haven't done a compression test on it but so far it seems okay. He says it feels like it has the same power as normal
