At Long Last: Easier and Safer Child Seat Installation


Oil Sludge


Sludge clogs oil passageways in the cylinder block. These passageways,
which are about the circumference of pipe cleaners, are like arteries.
Once the passages are clogged, moving parts such as valves, pistons and
camshafts are starved of oil. They can seize, causing engine-destroying
failures.
