Ok guys I removed the timing chain cover with the intent to of course replace the timing chain. Well when it came off I was almost floored by the amount of sludge I saw. I couldn’t even see the oil pressure sensor element or what ever it’s called. I started to scrape it away and it must be a good 3/8 thick. It’s a 289 in a 65 Mustang. It also makes a knocking noise when running (when I could keep it running). Does anyone have any opinion on products that are supposed to remove sludge? I’m also considering just replacing or rebuilding it.
I know this is pretty long winded but I Ned advice bad.
