Would like some help please!
Complete engine rebuild (hyd - flat tappets)
Run on dyno for break-in and tuning with a special break-in oil and EOS. 10w40 and EOS for 250 miles and then changed. 600 miles on Valvoline 10w40 (Sample Below) Total mile on car are 1,000 (adding some for the break-in run)
I started picking up some valve train tapping and found 1 rocker that was off of adjustment. Changed the oil and sent the sample in expecting that I wiped a cam lobe.
Surprised by what I got back - expecting iron to be much higher if I wiped a cam lobe - wasn't expecting lead to be so high!
Questions:
A: Wouldn't I expect to see my higher iron if I wiped a cam lobe
B: Is in normal to see very high wear in metals (like lead and tin) if the engine was a fresh rebuild and only has about 1K miles on her?
Thanks for the help!
