If you really have sludge it is worth taking off the oil pan.

I think that's about the same as Gunk Engine Cleaner.

Cheers,

Re: Cleaning Sludge out of your motor
 
Any used car/engine that I buy, I drain the old oil, fill the crankcase
with Marvel Mystery OIl, run to warm and at NO LOAD ... several times,
flush/drain and replace with regular oil ..... to free up stuck rings,
sticking valve stems, etc. Especially if the engine hasnt been run for
a spell the MMO 'spa' frees up all the stickies for improved
compression, etc. I usually run with 1+ pint MMO in the crancase oil
and use it to 'top oil' the valves, etc.
I do the MMO 'spa' routine every year on my marine (wet exhaust)
engines.

You do understand doing anything to clean the sludge out will also
clean out the sludge that is stopping up a lot of oil leaks, right?
