right, thanks.

it is the same shop that we thought used the wrong oil, but then confirmed later with pics that they stock and use liqui moly and xcess diesel oils that have decent zinc and moly content.

yes, i meant to mention we had time restraints to our work session when doing the tests, which is why i just wanted to make sure it we were sure about the 1st cyl. thanks.

it's good to hear $3-$4k is ridiculous, it means i have to keep asking around, maybe there's a DIY person somewhere in the northeast i can drive to and pay to work on it.
