I replaced the AOS.

My word of advice. Take it to the shop. It took me 4+ hours of blind work and lots of bruises and scratches. Even with the plastics and rear wheel removed, once you put your arm in there, you cannot see anything because your arm will block the view. And there is only enough space for 1 arm. It would help to have 10 fingers in there. You need to multi-task with one hand, which is why it took me so long.

Pelicanparts also seemed to miss some steps in removing the AOS that are absolutely required unless you have some special tools. I needed to remove some other parts to fit my ratchet in to remove the two bottom bolts.

After it was replaced, I reset the CEL and ran the engine for a few minutes until it stopped burning oil. I assume it is fixed. I couldn't test drive it because it was 10pm and I would have waken everyone up with my exhaust.
