[QUOTE="Devillian, post: 660866, member: 22102"] Encountered something similar to that before - sludge buildup. Basically, it's cos the owner didn't change the engine oil frequently enough and it's been running hot. Before the breakdown, there were no indication when driving that the engine's having problem. Just one day, it developed a "tapping" noise, and a few minutes after, the engine died completely. Since then, have made it a point to advice people to just remove the head to make sure no sludge is being built up, when they send their car for servicing. Removing just the top is a really quick job, Here are the pics. [ATTACH=CONFIG]27999[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]28000[/ATTACH] This is after the cleanup [ATTACH=CONFIG]27998[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
