Here's the two oil reports I had done prior to my rod bearing upgrade.
To me, they look pretty good for lead and copper.

Seems like the lead and copper levels should have been higher?
All I can guess is that the wear happened sometime prior to the two reports and then slowed.
Most people that have seen my bearings, are of the opinion that they were close to failing.
I think if I had chosen to put all my eggs in the oil report basket, I likely would have regretted that choice.
