You get credit for a triple. I started taking it apart last night, I should know for sure soon. Thanks for the suggestion about the cam timing. Probably a rookie mistake on my part, this was my first rebuild on an engine that had 2 cam chains.
syncopated. Now that's a $5 word.
Interesting question. However, the intake valve will still be CLOSED when the fuel injector fires. So the only fuel getting into the cylinder is the non-atomized fuel on the valve itself.
Further, the intake valve is opening on the EXHAUST stoke. This will pressurize the intake manifold. Pushing any air/fuel mixture deeper into the manifold.
The excess air/fuel charge is most likely drawn into a working cylinder on the next power stroke resulting in a rich mixture.
At the end of the day, I think it runs the same way.
The engine actually ran pretty smooth with only bank 2 running. It didn't have much power though. There was a occasional popping sound in the intake manifold probably when the injector was open and it sparked.
