Ian... that has not been done. Will be now. Thank you ~~~
Speculating. If fuel exists in crank oil, I suspect there'd be a problem with that engine's fuel injectors dripping fuel after shut down. Dripped fuel then makes it past what open valves there are, and poorly sealing valves if they exist, then along the bottom of cylinder, past the rings... into the case.
Just looked at Bill's report on my Bosch 158 injectors. They were checked as part of hunting down this fuel use issue. His report:
I plan to use Blackstone for the oil analysis. Will wait a while for what comments there may be on this company before getting on with the process.
