Pruning shears?

 

update?

 

Oil sample arrived Monday to Blackstone. Waiting for results.

 

in the for the update!

 

Anybody know how to add attachments to replies? I'd like to upload the printout from Blackstone.

They said there were no abnormal wear metals, plenty of additives to protect against wear, the viscosity was perfect at cold or boiling temps. No coolant or fuel was found in the oil either. So I guess all good so far.

 

I always upload mine to places like photobucket then copy the link to your posts here.

What were the readings for lead, copper, iron, and aluminum ?, those are the key wear metals to consider given your situation.

 

Lead and copper would be bearings, iron cams and oil pump, aluminum would be pistons?

 

Sorry for taking so long to respond. Got a new phone and had issues logging in. Anyway the report mineral content showed

Aluminum - 4
Iron - 5
Copper - 1
Tin - 2
Viscosity @210 59.9 (should be 58-65)
Flashpoint 405 (should be >375)
No antifreeze
Fuel <.5 (should be <2.0)
Insolubles .3 (should be <.6)
Tbn 6.5 (should be >1.0)

 

Numbers look good. Nothing out of the ordinary.
