Scotty G.

Hey!

Just wanted to share my findings. When I received this email I decided to pull the motor and tear it down. What I found was that in one of the cylinders the piston skirt was wearing pretty bad against the cylinder wall. That would explain why the high aluminum (piston skirt), high iron (sleeve wall) and chromium (ring material) was in the oil. The funny thing is that my car was running excellent. It couldn’t have been running better. (So I thought)

Just wanted to thank you for what you guys do because I was able to save my motor from catastrophic failure. The motor is now undergoing a full rebuild. With some upgraded parts.

Thanks again!
