Listen "Episode 58: The Blackstone Difference"
Episode Synopsis
Every result has an explanation - sometimes that's high wear due to a problem, or elements that make clear the presence of contamination, the wrong oil being in use, and the list goes on. It's also true, though, that a less-than-ideal result doesn't always amount to a problem. High metals from wear-in, or elements that can be harmless additive as opposed to contamination are just a couple scenarios we come across daily. In order to present an accurate report and not just a page of elements with levels marked as "high" or "low" with no additional explanation, we offer an analysis that factors in all of the variables we can account for, and help you work through what's clearly an issue versus what isn't. That's the Blackstone Difference - an analysis where you can follow along in the comment and see what we found that's notable, how we identify a problem, and where to go next after an analysis is complete. Blackstone Joe walks you through it all in this episode, so just sit back and enjoy!
