well got my new addition of a 98 C3500 crew cab with one spun rod bearing! BS it had 5 spun bearings!!! opted for new GM motor from local dealer. taking old motor out figured out why motor screwed up. what ever you do, DO NOT USE SILICONE ON THE INTAKE GASKETS besides the front and rear of the lower. they used it all over the plastic rubber gaskets and it got into the valley and down to the oil pump and starved the pump for pickup.

got old engine out last night and dressed the new one. hopefully if all goes well it will be running tonight! will post more pics later when i figure out how to downsize files...
