Curious what you all would do to troubleshoot the following.
I sent a sample (report attached) when I took the airplane down for annual last week.
Overall it has been running fine; on one flight late last year there was just a hint of rough running on a night takeoff, barely noticeable but just a hint of roughness. I flew for 90 minutes or so before the annual / oil sample and it ran fine.
We are planning to borescope the cylinders during the inspection.
Thanks in advance.

Re: Oil analysis question
Tom, while you are Borescoping your cylinders also look to see if a piston pin end plug has been scuffing the cylinder wall.
