Good afternoon Thunderbolt...

When we first purchased out 1949 - 288, we had the same dirty oil almost right after changing the oil. We removed the pan and cleaned out the sludge that was in it. Roughly 3/8 inch of it. We also had the valves adjusted to remove the clatter. The old girl keeps her oil clean now. We change it every 1000 miles.
