Default Oil Analysis - at 350 miles - Built Motor - Thoughts?

The car is a 04 STi and all the mods can found in the journal but here are engine specs. This is the second oil change on the car at ~350 miles with a first oil change done around ~50 miles. I didn't do the first oil change so no oil report available on that one. I figured I would share to maybe get more insight on this analysis and if everyone thinks the high lead is normal/acceptble for a new built engine. I will have another analysis once I get more miles on it and change it out again. Thoughts?

  • Kelford R-199-C Cams, 272/272, Subaru AVCS
  • Moroso Oil Pan

Can only really make some guesses without knowing all the details of the build. What's the builder have to say? They should be able to tell you exactly what you should be seeing in the analysis based on the builds parts, specs, etc.

I sent it out to the builder today but thought I would get some other opinions as well. I will update when I hear back from them.

You should run the oil alot longer now that youve already done 2 oil changes.. The last sentence in the oil report is indicating that you barely wore in the oil at all, and you want to break the oil in a bit to help seat the rings, plus youll get a better analysis of whats going on with your motor if you run the oil a bit longer. Next oil change id wait until ~2K miles.. On my motor i did first one at 500, second at 2K and i burn next to 0 oil with a built motor and no piston slap at all.. You wouldnt know it was built unless i told you thats how good it sounds.
