[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1624287, member: 27848"] Back in the days of non detergent oils, valve jobs were at 45k miles and total engine overhauls were at 100k miles in my neck of the woods...S. Texas......but you had to flush the blocks with hot solvent first to get the sludge out of the way so that you could get to the metal. I remember when Texaco came out with Havoline HD 20w and 30w. Mom used 20 in the winter and 30 in the summer......Texaco dealer at the end of the block serviced her car. Any engine I saw torn down when that hit the market was nothing but sludge course, I lived in town and 2 miles from the house to down town was "a trip". Removing sludge from old engines isn't always bad. Sometimes an oil burner ceases to burn oil because sludge has stuck the rings to the pistons and they can't function properly, valves tend to stick in the valve guides and all. Gotta remember that owner's manuals for old equipment were written in the day. Today you are using today's lubricants. Night and day. Something to think about while you are driving around in your newer pickup truck running 250-350k miles without a wrench on the engine major! [/QUOTE]
