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.
Personally I would change the oil and filter and have another analysis done at 4,000 miles. YMMV
The high copper level is normal for the 454 BBC. It comes from the rather large oil cooler. Very common finding in oil analysis from BBC engines.
Again, for reasons like this, you need you have to have consistent analysis reports to develop the trend data. A spot check info can never give you a complete picture of how the engine is wearing.
Again misleading....
If an issue were present... the analysis numbers would give a clue such as coolant presence. Without doing even (1) your guessing.
