ps, i'm not jack. I just read a lot. and have a 3.6 that i'm worrying about.
What then is the symptom of scoring? is it just a gradual loss of compression? or a catastrophic failure. Will a simple compression check Identify evidence of scoring. This motor apparently has 36k miles. At what point does scoring really become an issue.
