I'm telling ya, I don't think there's any sludge in the pan anymore. That boil down was 2 1/2 years and over 200k miles ago. But I do think it's likely that there are some restrictions somewhere. I'm thinking out at the farthest points from the pump.
For about 3 oil changes after the cooking, I was getting sludge when draining, and I would slide a screwdriver up in the pan and pull out more. But since then nothing. I think it's probably in the pick-up or out in a passage. Last oil change I added a full bottle of Seafoam and ran it 3000 miles. A couple of times when starting I got some puffs of bluish white smoke. I think that was some chunks coming loose and blowing through?
And I just meant that the Lucas probably saved me right then, when the oil was gone, left a little sheen in the cylinders for lube. I don't know.
And that Lucas raises my oil pressure. I went without for the last 3 or 4 oil changes, about 6 weeks, and my pressure was noticably lower. Put it back in last week, and back up it went, by 3-5 pounds.
I've got a Haines manual, I'll see if it shows me where to hook up a mech guage.
