Geeezzz, that sounds really bad...
Seriously though, what do you all think the head should look like.
For instance, if you take the filler cap off my engine (Chevy 4.3L V-6) and take a look, there is absolutely no deposits or sludge. Also, and this is what is amazing to me, there is no brown coloration to the metal at all! It's dark gray everywhere. Of course I've been using HDEO's (Hmmm, have used Delo, Rotella, and Long-Life) since I got it...
On the other hand, by the time I met my girlfriend, she'd put 120,000 or so miles on her car, and it has been ran on standard mineral oil on who knows what drain intervals. Everything has a dark brown varnish on it. Of course now, she'll be running an HDEO.
So what about you guys? What does your engine looks like?
