Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I am sure that someone will come along and tell me how this will result in further engine damage, impure thoughts and my dog to run away.

There are probably cars that have been running with some level of scoring for years.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I decided to have mine checked out and now will get it fixed.
Mine are and I will posts pics when I get it back from the Indi who diagnosed scored cylinder liners #5 and #6. I have seen the boroscope pics and can confirmed scored. Sooty pipes can be an indicator of internal problems. Just wondering...
The Cayenne has a high incidence of this:
I wouldn't be shocked if our cars are at that level or higher. There are probably cars that have been running with some level of scoring for years. I have come to accept that sooner or later, all (or practically all) of the original 3.6 engines will develop scoring. If I found out I had scoring, my plan would be to run it until it wasn't making good power anymore.
I am sure that someone will come along and tell me how this will result in further engine damage, impure thoughts and my dog to run away.
In addition to the sooty pipes, which came first, followed by an increasing amount of oil consumption and the addition of the light ticking that turned into a fairly disturbing tapping when hot. Finally the CEL for #6 cylinder misfire and subsequent finding of an oil fouled spark plug. I decided to have mine checked out and now will get it fixed. I know there are other folks who have similar issues that keep adding oil and keep driving. Great for them. I hope it works out for them. Each to their own decision. I will post a pic of the issue in my engine on the #6 cylinder.
#6 cylinder
