    I just want the oil gone, but you're probably right. I could make like Bill Cosby and drive the gunk outta it.

    That doesn't look like a Ford 4V timing setup.

    Looks like a BMW head I saw on a Beemer forum recently where the guys had to nearly strip the motor to get all the sludge out. He went nearly 80k w/out an oil change to get it that bad.

    I know it's a pain in the car but I bet it is the gaskets for the spark plug wells letting oil seep through. That would mean time to pull the cam covers and replace some gaskets.

    Adjusted air in and air out.
    400+ timeslips.

    When in doubt, GAS IT! This will either fix the problem, or end the suspense.
