98 CAMARO-032116 (1) (1).pdf

New UOA came back with higher lead copper and iron. there was an oil change between test. oil in lastest test had around 3k on it 0w30 GC, it did sit two winters before this test, first spring put on 1500 mile, second spring 1500 miles the only change to engine between the two test was I had my EPS cam changed to a Cam motion and at that time put in the new 0w30 GC oil which is the oil that went two seasons before this UOA, MY heads do have bronze guides. any ideas

Not sure I follow, when was the engine work done with respect to the oil change? I used to have Terry Dyson check my UOA and after each motor change he would tell me the UOA won't be good until I have put several thousand miles on the motor and then do an oil change. Check after that. So it may be the UOA was done too soon and without an oil change since the cam work.
