Default Re: sooty oil?

If you read into my first post I said I had a cylinder leaking down. I did the test and found I had a problem. Pulled the head and had gouges in the cylinders causing the leak down. So when I drained the oil I found the sooty stuff in it. I just wanted to confirm it was combustion contamination in the oil. So I torn the motor down and will be pulling it shortly. I am in the process of building a new LS motor so timing was kind of ok in a messed up way.
