The latest victim of long oil change intervals coupled to short trips of driving.
This engine has seen 2 oil changes in 15K miles, one at 5K, the next at 15K.
It's difficult to beleive that short trip driving is the only thing to blame here.
I have scooped out a plastic bag full of sludge from the valve cover, timing area and oil sump.
Not sure yet if I'm going to be able to nurse it back to life.
