Bob,
Just recently bought a 66 mustang with the stock 298 ci v8 with 86144 miles. From all indications the pan or heads have never been off. Did my oil change to Amsoil 10w40 and with about 25 miles on the oil pulled a sample for analysis with Analysts, Inc. Their results are as follows in ppm: Iron 29, Chromium 1, Nickle Tin Phosp 1299, Zink 1445, Calcium 3707, Barium S % vol 0.5, Fuel% 2.3. Request your analysis and recommendations as to rebuild. Am i correct in thinking that Lead= overlay of bearing material, Iron=cyl walls, valve guides, piston rings, oil pump & Nickle=bearing material. In your opinion does the ppm levels indicate my immediate attention? Thank you.
