Hi Im new to this site and Im hoping you guys will be able to give me some answers to my oil analysis. This car is raced and does run leaded gas when being raced. Here are the values
Alum. 10
Chromium 3
iron 26
copper 3
lead 572
tin 4
molybdenum 77
nickel 0
manganese 1
silver 0
titanium 0
potassium 2
boron 5
silicon 14
sodium 11
calcium 2210
magnesium 9
phosphorus 768
zinc 845
barium 0
Viscosity 62.6
flashpoint 395
fuel .5
antifreeze 0
water 0
insolubles .3
We are seeing what looks like gold dust in the oil when drained. There are no be flakes of anything in the oil (at least nothing of any real size). The magnetic drain plugs look ok. There is a light coating of stuff on it but nothing that I can really feel with my fingers when I wipe it off. Im afraid that a bearing is going bad and that is what is causing the copper or gold dust look in the oil. Any ideas? Does running leaded fuel really cause that must lead in the oil?
