My AOS was shot. Smoking got pretty bad and idle crept up from 600rpm to about a 1000rpm. After replacement all is good again. Cost was about $500 but had to replace oil filler tube that got broken in the process. Plastic was very brittle and a little piece broke and fell into the oil pan. Found a worm in the oil pickup screen. Very strange.
