I am thinking of putting my cylinder head and oil pan in a strong solvent bath overnight to dissolve the pretty bad sludge I have in there.
My questions are:
1) What is the best solvent to use for this?
2) What parts need to be re-lubricated with assembly grease before I reinstall it? Do valves and guides need any special treatment?
Any suggestions/tips/advice would be appreciated.
Edit: I have a BMW M52TUB25 from a 00 323i
Before I get flamed for the sludge, I would like to explain that I recently bought the car 13K ago at 100K miles and the previous owner sadly followed the 15,500 mile OCI on [censored] oil
