Cheers mate, interesting compilation and "conclusion" (i'm aware data is limited but still).
"It does show that oil analysis won't necessarily pick up problems. How/why? Because the high wear rate occurred at some point before the oil report(s)."
To me another indication that most of the wear on fair/high milage shells we see that ran fine, probably are worn in its early life. Once shaved off they continue to do its job.
That said sure, still a good idea to replace them "early" to reduce risk.
