Meaning number 1 may have been mated with number 4 rod and so forth. It did this exact same thing. He tried several rebuilt starters and a new battery...before he pulled the pan and put the rod caps on the proper rods. Then there was no problem. Good luck. If this engine was rebuilt recently this could be your problem. If I had known what he was doing beforehand, I would have stopped him.
