I had this bright idea once with a S-10 pickup truck. I decided to clean the engine out. I drained it and put high detergent oil in there and took off to the NC mountains. About half way there, it just quit running. (I had not been looking at the gages...I was off floating around in outer space) The Engine would not turn over...locked up.

Well, I pulled the pan. The pickup for the oil pump was COMPLETELY clogged with sludge and it could not pick up the oil and starved it. The result is, I have been snake bit with this cleaning stuff. If I even thought about doing it any more, I think I would pull the valve covers and the pan and steam clean everything and then blow it out with air and still not be happy with it.
