i wouldn't be surprised.  when i tried 'gunk' on my first car, an
ex-telco fleet '66 american with 4000 showing on the clock, i let it
idle much longer than specified because i could hear the engine -
which i'd thought was running well - speed up and smooth out, and a
ticking tappet went quiet.

and i couldn't dump the oil from the drain pan for a couple of days,
but when i did i found an unbelieveable layer of sludge on the bottom.
