  Small-block - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A small-block engine is a North American V8 in a family of engines which generally have less than 6 liters (360 cubic inches) of displacement, although some derivatives have grown larger (up to 400 cubic inches, 6.6 litres).
The term is normally used only for engines from the "Big Three" (Ford Motor Company, General Motors, and Chrysler Corporation) since the other companies did not keep two V8 engine size families.
Additionally, many small-block engines were more advanced technologically than their big-block counterparts, and were much lighter and smaller.

The 3500 LX5 V6 is a DOHC engine from Oldsmobile, introduced in 1999 with the Oldsmobile Intrigue.
It was produced by the Premium engine group at GM and was thus called the Premium V6, or PV6, while it was being developed.
It is based on the L47 Aurora V8, which is itself based on the Cadillac Northstar engine, so engineers called it the Short North, though Oldsmobile fans have taken to calling it the Shortstar.

I think they had GM do a 3 way call to the dealer and inform them that, yes, there is a recall, replace the plastic line now with a new one, then when the SS replacements are available, install one of those.
I was advised to call GM to see if there were any recalls for the fuel system, and when I called them, I was informed that a recall was being mailed out the week of Sept.4 and true to form I received it about a week later.
GM at first seemed very cooperative, the inspector they sent agreed that it was definitely the fuel rail defect that caused the fire.

Oldsmobile's engines, the 5.7 L LF9 and 4.3 L LF7 V8s and 4.3 L LT6/LT7/LS2 V6, were notoriously unreliable.

But the company quickly lost interest in the small engine family and sold it to Kaiser in 1967.

 GMInsideNews Forums - Northstar in a Caddy vs other brand
The Northstar SC is also the same engine, but displacement was decreased to 4.4L.
So generally, for a fixed geometry (bore, stroke, etc) engines are designed to operate in an envelope of performance and can be customized to a given application by playing with other components like valvetrain design and timing, ignition timing, intake/exhaust manifolds, etc. And some tweaking may improve emissions (combustion) but hurt performance (horsepower) and vice-versa.
When an engine runs at 1000-5000 rpm, you have only msec (Milli-seconds) to accomplish a lot of stuff--Deliver fresh air, Inject fuel, vaporize it, mix it with air, ignite the mixture, burn it, and evacuate the burned products.

But there is no spot inside the engine to connect a pressure guage on this engine.
