Better than some I've sen. Imagine taking the rocker covers off a V8 and the oil sludge is shaped around the rocker gear, gouged out only by the movement of the rockers. The guy bought the car in as he was suspect after he couldn't fill it with oil. The fillerhole was pluged with the stuff. Just brought the car, from private sale, met the seller at hos "home" turns out the people there had never seen or knew of him.
Edit: the sump was virtually the same the crank had just started to gouge sludge built up there, oil reached the p/up through a few cracks in the goop.
