when i was a working my way through school, I got
a job in a machine shop and did valve jobs, and
bored blocks. every 6 months we dumped the
cleaning vat and cleaned it and refilled it. to
my surprise, I thought it was acid, but no, it was
a very very very strong alkali or base that was
mixed with water and then we fired up the gas
heater under it. dropped in a dirty block and the
next day you hoisted it out and rinsed off the
shiney block or head. drop a carb in for about 10
minutes and it shined like new.. leave it in for 2
hours and it dissolved the thinner parts.
Anyway..

hd motoroils come with a base additive to help
fight acids from combustion by products. the base
additives make the oil read somewhere from 11 to
13 on the base scale.. with 14 being max base, 7
is equal to water and 1 equals a super acid... so
yes.. run any modern hd motoroil and it will super
clean all the sludge out and off the engine and
gaskets... clean out the sludge and the old
gaskets that have shrunk, and cracked, and guess
what happens. the same Base additives also leach
out silicon from silicon based gaskets used in the
70s.. with the same results.. lots of leaks from
those new silicon gaskets. Later gaskets were
reformulated to fix this problem. so any modern
hd motoroil and especially hd diesel motor oil
will clean an engine and if the gaskets are bad,
they will start to leak. 40 year old cork gaskets
are no exception.
