I'm sure it's a long shot being over a year since your last update, but did you ever get any results from your test? I was just talking about this...

Sounds like an adventure, Robyn! Here are the pics. All rod bearings: Mains 1, 2, 4, block side:

Hi, John C. I guess what I was making a comparison to, in my statement, is the difference, say, between pulling the shut-down lever, or rod, like on...

Dick: Every time you shut the key off is shuts down from "loss of fuel". Our '93 never had misfiring after shutting it down then restarting it. ...

O have had the DS4 ESS leak fuel out the wire grommet I had the solenoid on an 86 Burb 6.2 fail to energize ......Turn the key on and smack the IP...

I've heard of (suspected) failed ESS (Engine Stop Solenoid), but have never seen one fail in the wild that wasn't physically damaged (one DS4). I've...
