Horrible Blackstone UOA.......help me

[walexa07]

I recently sent my first sample for this engine to blackstone labs. I have about 6300 waste vegetable oil miles on a heated 2-tank system. I have marine 370 injectors, that are known to have improper spray pattern. I am interested in everyone's comments......including if my engine has long to live.

fuel dilution change out at 4K or fix injectors.

What was viscosity? Quick lude had a diesel truck with ~5% fuel, and wear metals were surprisingly good for what had become a #20 oil.

Without doing anything else I think Bruce has the right idea
run fresh oil for 3k and re-sample.

Also can you post the fuel % , TBN, viscosity? etc

I would contact Terry Dyson, $20 investment for a $$$$ engine.
