You say gray/blackish exhaust??
I do get a gray/blackish exhaust coming out when I jump on the throttle that appears to clear out. However, no such indication at startup or steady cruise.
I'm leaning a bit more towards out of phase cams on the driver's side. That side of the motor exhibits noticeably lower compression #s than the passenger side although all with the exception of #3 appear to be within the 10% tolerance level.
