FYI the 9A1 can’t be scoped from the sump, have to use the spark plug holes. I would definitely do the oil analysis regardless because it’s certain and we have seen a lot of dealer and indy mechanics miss bore scoring or diagnose bore scoring when it wasn’t there. Oil analysis is a route you almost can’t make a mistake with. Good luck!
Thanks….I think I saw you post that earlier and I was not aware that this was the case for my engine. I guess it’s both good and bad. I’m still trying to find a competent Indie in my area who I can trust. I had planned on doing just one more change before it goes into winter storage, but maybe I’ll do one now and again in Nov. I’d like to transition to oil w/moly and considered possibly adding Cera Tec to the current(Fuchs oil)although that would taint any UOA. Appreciate the comment as it may be that many mechanics wouldn’t know it’s not possible to view from sump…and that would be a waste of $..
