For an opinion from someone with many years of experience in the business
and an excellent reputation (at least in the US), I would recommend you
contact Howard Fenton at:

I believe he charges $15 for a second opinion on the oil analysis; and can
also do a filter analysis (if you still have the sample and think it should
be repeated) for another $15.

Probably a worthwhile investment given the cost of an overhaul.

I thought Howard retired last year. I seem to recall a big hubbub
in various forums about having to find a new place to get oil analysis
done.

He sold Engine Oil Analysis to Blackstone. But Blackstone doesn't do
filter analysis. Plus a lot of people valued Howard's opinions.

So he's set up a new business to give second opinions on oil analyses, and
also to perform filter (large particle) analyses. He's not in competition
with Blackstone, but rather serves as a supplement.

I suppose this also helps him to support his fishing habit, and his
penchant for working on war birds g.
