I finally got off my @ss and emailed blackstone-labs for a test kit. In the not too distant future, I (actually "we" since I will tell everyone my results) should see how much tin or aluminum (whatever it is) bearing material I have floating around in the oil after 48,000 miles of running an UDP. Anyone want to make any bets how much higher than average my reads will be - I really have no clue???
I wondered the same thing when I sent my first sample in.
Verdict? No signs of bearing wear after 1.5 years with the UDP.
Doesn't mean I'm not concerned about crank whip, just some interesting data. I've got another sample to send in, I'll do it soon.
