But if I had a severely sludged engine I would take a few cans of carb cleaner and spray the engine parts with the valve covers and oil pan off to get rid of the caked on garbage. It sounds as though the OP may be becoming an expert at oil pan removal!
Steve, thanks for the reply, some might call me an expert on bmw oil pan removals, I have easily R&R over a 100
severe des luging is out of my experience though.
I have done this on american engines, when the oil pan is off the carb cleaner blows right through opening oil drains and such. VERY effective, just make sure you give it time to evaporate completely and watch out for sensitive oddball components that may react to the STRONG solvents...
