hmm cheap sludgy oil could easily contribute to carbon build up, I never considered that as a factor. The motor has gone a couple hundred thousand miles since the last rebuild, there could be a fair amount of blow-by.

I think I'll switch the car over to a decent synthetic and take the egr off in a year or so and see if it changes, maybe I'll even remember to report my findings here.
