Received my results from my Wix oil analysis kit today.
The exact wording in the diagnosis area is as follows:
DIAGNOSIS
Bearing (Lead, Copper & Iron) wear rates are very
high. All other engine wear rates normal. Silicon,
Sodium, and Potassium levels indicate internal coolant
leak. Light concentration of water present. Unable to
perform viscosity testing due to excessive water
contamination.
Action: Check for higher than typical operating
temperature. Check for any abnormal noise or
vibration. Check for lower than typical oil pressure.
Check for source of coolant leak and repair. Flush unit
thoroughly. Resample after corrective action to further
monitor.
I really like this machine and I am willing to put in the work/money to get her fixed up. The motor runs strong and as long as I can rid the oil of coolant I am not to worried about the bearing wear at the moment, if neccessary I will rebuild at a later time. Oil pressure is within spec.
That being said, do I automatically assume the coolant is entering the crankcase via the head gasket or can I systematically test and find out exactly how it is entering? Advice on troubleshooting would be appreciated.
