Iron content in oil WAY down after rocker swap

I received my latest Blackstone Labs oil analysis in the mail a couple of days ago and boy
am I happy. My iron ppm content went from 212 in my previous sample down to 37 in the
current sample. For those that don't remember, I've been watching my iron content for the
past several months because it's been climbing quite high. I decided to find out what was
going on and lucked out when I found the rockers had excessive wear. I replaced them with
a set of Mopar (Crane) 1.7:1 roller rockers and now everything is back to normal. My
aluminum did go up, about double, at 11 but that could just be from my trip to Colorado
pulling our trailer. I pushed the truck pretty hard several times and ran at 4K RPM for a
couple of miles at a time climbing mountain passes. I've scanned and posted the results
at:
