How old is your AOS? When they start to go, they allow oil to enter the combustion chamber that eventually comes out the exhaust causing a sooty tailpipe. There's a better chance of you having a bad AOS than bore scoring.
Hey husker, dumb question but here it goes. I've read to be er turn the crank counterclockwise but why? I know that the engine doesn't actually turn this way but are there components that will be damaged if it is done with ignition off and out of gear?
