Glitter in oil

[DFERA]

Double checking the orientation of the bearing on the #5 main. Also installing Ford main bolts. Can anyone tell me the torque spec for these?
For the inners is it 60ft lb plus 90°
For the outer and side still the 45ftlb like the arp?

It’s all in the bearing thread I posted. Scroll the entire post #29 in the link below.

Here is the UOA for the oil that was in the car when i bought it.
Really the only concerning thing is the water but after to speaking to the company these levels are about 2ml in the whole 100ml sample I sent in.
its very plausible that the water is cleaner from cleaning the surface of my drain pan.
Next time I will try and grab a sample directly from the oil pan.

Here is the UOA of the amsoil I put in. It was only in the car a few hours before I went ahead and dropped the pan to do my investigation.
I’ll send another sample in to be analyzed in at minimum 500 mi.

Anyone have a link to the oil pan torque specs?

Is this the correct spec…. 89 in lb then 45°?

EDIT: seems to be the spec for the plastic pan 2018 and up

I've never had an oil analysis, but I assume metal from bearing wear would show up no?

Kinda sounds like you are buttoning it up and getting ready to drive it.

Yes there is a section on the report labeled wear metals where they show anything that would be breaking down.

it's the spec for the Voodoo pan for all model years.

The oil analysis result screams "NOTHING TO SEE HERE!!!"

Well then, I'm super happy for you. Hopefully you have some piece of mind and can enjoy your car now.

Never seen someone handle a potentially major issue with such a calm and collected demeanor. You really took this one in stride, rolled up your sleeves and just focused on getting the job done…respect! And happy to have you around here! Good luck and ENJOY!!!

Attached is something I refer to from time-to-time; it explains the different elements involved in an analysis and what their sources might be.

Edit,

While Blackstone was not involved, this second attachment provides additional insight. See last page.

GLAD everything seems OK......button 'er up and let 'er rip!!

Good Luck in the future!!

Glad to read this, I'd button it up, drive 100 or so miles, and send another sample in. Green light, go for it!

Sure glad someone investigated the glitter source, unlike me, who said welp, send it, analysis said it was fine!
