I received bad news in an email from Blackstone. Looks like my engine is making metal. How bad are these values?
Aluminum 18 ppm. Iron 77 ppm. Copper 30 ppm. Nickel 11 ppm. Everything else is OK.
Blackstone notes: we have found high levels of iron and nickel compared to averages. Check the compressions, and check the oil filter. Resample in ten hours.
What am I looking at here? Engine overhaul? Is there a market for an airplane with an engine with these kind of problems?
