Wow, Jerry I find this very interesting. As you remember my 51K mile motor with the entire left hand (driver's) side bank had lower compression with burning oil and I was puzzled as to why only that side as a whole. My cylinders were highly glazed and wondered what caused that and why only on one side bank? I remember in our conversations about the chrome plated Total Seal rings and nikasil compatibility too. I wish I did not have my original exhaust manifolds and cats in long term storage with no access for 5 years or I would be curious to look inside to see that went on too.
