At one point, I poured a can of Miracle Magical Sludge Dissolver into the crankcase. I forget the real name, it was whatever was in the hardware store that day. After a half hour drive, the oil was so black and gunky that I changed it quick before the gunk in the oil clogged something up.

When I got the car, the valve train had so much sludge on it that it looked like some kind of Japanese sludge monster. Did anybody make a movie titled "The Sludge Monster That Ate Tokyo?" If a Japanese monster movie producer had seen that engine, he could have used it to give the monster maker people some ideas.
