ohhh damn that sounds bad. not sure if starting small will help there buddy.

Do they spec 0w-40 for marine use,my 5.7 vortec in my boat specs 15w-40 above 50degF,other than that sounds like a bad lifter

Pull the belt and see if the noise goes away.
If not, think ya might need an engine. Allan |
Sounds like the timing chain slapping. Hard to tell from a video. Could sound completely different in person

FWIW Lifter

Change the oil again and use the factory recomended oil 5W-30. Also do you have the right filter? 0w-40 is the wrong oil...better than no oil but wrong just the same. imho.
My 96 5.0 has 267k on it and all I've ever used is Mobile-1 5W-30. engine is quiet and uses no oil between changes. |

It is in a boat. They use different weight oil then a truck motor. Even though it is a 8.1 GM motor it is a different beast.
