sounds like you blew a gasket maybe... do a compression test and see if you can find where the air is coming from
omfg are u kidding me...F*** man.. how hard is the gasket to change.idk how to do a compression test dont have the tools..
if you blew a head gasket its very simple and easy to replace doesnt take much time at all look in between the head and the cylinder see if you can find any oil around it if so your head gaskets shot (i try to keep my motor as clean as i can for this reason) a compresion testers like 15 bucks
sounds like a is blown gasket ... download the blaster manual.

try and figure out where the air is comming from. compression testers can be found cheap. like 20 bucks, nice to have. might want to look into a leakdown tester also. kinda sounds like you had an air leak and it caused a lean condition and a blown motor but lets hope not.
do the compression test 1st to be sure of the problem and could you find where the air is coming from?
Sounds like it was run lean, either an air leak or it wasnt jetted right for the aftermarket pipe.
and not jetted for these cold temps, buy a head gasket (if thats where the gunk is ?? near the top???) and report back we'll help you install it
but it should be givin a compression test, < after the new gasket, then a leakdown test
compression testers are available at any auto store or harbor freight for under $20
and leakdown testers are available here fro holeshotman

If its hard to kick over the piston might be fried. You wont know until you pull the top end off. Once you have it apart you will be able to see if the cyl walls are all scratched and the top of the piston looks beat. Like awk said if it wasn't jetted for the cold weather it runs leaner and it harms the engine.
