Default This is bad

I replaced my valve cover gasket and the inside.... not so good. It looks like this (hope this works, i'm a rookie poster, long time leacher)

<img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/152262/burnator.jpg">

So, what do I do? I just finished the job for now and replaced the gasket. But do I just cut and run and sell the car? It's got 160k miles on it.

Default You edited your post? That pic's a 12v engine from NoCali, is that what you have?They rarely sludge.

Most 12v look like this...

Default Is that a pic of your engine?

Or did you steal it from someone else?

He said: "It looks like this" -meaning similar.

BG engine flush, 12V has lower oil pan right so pickup tube access is easy if clogs.

Do you need permission to say my engine looks like this? I could take a picture, but it looks pretty similar.

It burned oil, but alot of that had to do with the valve cover gasket. I guess I'll see now....
