"Being a lubricants specialist
"Being a lubricants specialist engineer I have access to an oil sample laboratory. Two years ago the oil sample annalisis results indicated high levels of sodium (sea water), the wear metals were all low. I renewed all the relevant parts linked with the cooling system, ie water pump, head gasket, engine breather etc, however the problem persists. I take an oil sample via a ceackle test & change the oil when the emulsified levels are medium, this means I change the oil at approx every 20 running hours. I drain the oil at the sump (not dip stick) & flush the system with fresh oil to ensure no sodium is carried over.
All the information I have investigated indicates the cylinder liner seals are leaking. Before I remove the engine, please can I bounce my thoughts off you to see if you agree, or have I missed someting.
The engine starts & runs just fine."
