So how about this theory.
Since the damage was caused by no oil,
there was no oil to carry contamination back to the oil pan. All other oil was
pumped overboard before it even had a chance to reach the damaged areas (which,
if it had, there would be no damaged areas).
I think we
have a winner. This does make sense, and would explain
the glaring lack of evidence in the oil
analysis.
What may be much more telling, would be the oil you put
in the engine when you restarted before teardown. That oil would be pumped
through all the damaged areas and would carry contaminants away. Do you have any
of that oil available for analysis? How much $ is an analysis?
It's still
sitting in the drain pan, but I'm trying to remember if I poured anything
else in that pan other than oil. The test is
$20.
Thanks,
Rusty
