Spark coming from engine block

Asked by Jose Dec 15, 2017 at 05:02 PM about the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 1LT Crew Cab RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Changed the spark wire plug. Because it was torn
and I taught the spark was hitting the engine. Once
changed I noticed it was sparking from the engine
block. Just wanting to know if it would be a
expensive fix or would it be better to buy a new
engine or just a new truck?

I think a coil is arcing to the valve cover which is then arcing to the block. I would probably replace the coils.
