You know JAG it's probably why I opted to use the Redline HP oil, because I knew that while it was doing its job for lubrication it would also be swishing around in there cleaning up what might not be cleanable if that makes sense. I heard of the reputation of it to really deep clean and I wanted to experiment — and also I revved the crap out of that car for four good short OCIs. I was surprised that it was needing that valve cover gasket but it dawned on me it would be a great opportunity to look at the valvetrain which is typically the dirtiest in these engines over time with miles. I've always felt good about Redline over the years, but this is proof that I needed also!
