The inside of the valve cover was covered in carboned up crud. Mind you this was on an engine with about 300K on it but the owner had changed the oil like religion every 3K and used castrol GTX from day one. I know as I did darn near every one of those oil changes. From one oil change to the next it went from spotlessly clean under the valve cover to an absolute sludge bucket.

I'd have expected this engine to be quite clean--despite the high mileage. Do you know what types of driving was done on this car; IE short trips to work or lots of highway etc?
