Talk about oil not draining. Ever see the valve area of an F head head?
There are pockets about 1/2" deep that never drain since they sit in the casting such that there's no way out for the oil.
My '58 Jeep had sludge built up in there it was solid.
Probably should have left it there as the oil would have drained off the sludge without picking up any of it from a contamination standpoint.
How that engine managed to run when I first got it is beyond me.
