To the OP, I wouldn't call that a completely clean report. Copper level as noted is high, and could be due to any one of a variety of conditions.

Can you cite a reference? According to Blackstone it's approximately nine times higher than the universal average for similar engines.
From other BBC engine owners who reported the same finding.
