Hi, well there's wear material and there's contaminants. Fuel and dirt are the usual contaminants. You can look at those in two places: silicone (dirt) and fuel %.
If silicone is high the first place is to look is the air filtration and then intake leaks.
Wear metals on this sample look really good. Tin is the first layer of your crank bearings, so they're looking good. Alu and iron levels are below average, and as they mentioned, this is still a new engine in terms of wear in.
