If you wanna get radical--add about a pint of xylene to the #2 diesel when
you fill the crankcase with it!! Let the engine get good and warm (use
cardboard to block the radiator off), BUT: DO NOT run the engine above
about 1200 rpm, or under any load AT ALL with this brew in its crankcase!!!

This VILL remofe  (Sgt. Schultz' spelling) all sludge and varnish!

After draining this, and tossing the filter, fill the crankcase with a
light motor oil with one qt. of ATF. Run easy for two three hours, then
drain and change filter again. You NEED to flush all the residual xylene
out of the engine with the second oil change before putting any serious
load on the engine!!!!
