I am not going have my pick up checked, at least not yet. I am going to monitor via UOA and go from there. If it shows issues with bearings, i will decide at that time if i want to drop the pan, or full send until it blows. I only have a couple more months with the car this summer anyways. This will give me 6 winter months to see if suby will do anything about this.
That is a very reasonable plan. The oil analysis should show slightly elevated metals for the first couple of tests due to break in but if excessively or consistently high then it would be a good indicator of a problem.
I wouldn't put a lot of emphasis on higher silicon results though. Just the shear amount that stick's into the engine (even if completely fine) will give elevated results.
