Try this: Remove the valve covers and go for a drive. Go ahead, run it up to 70 or 80 mph for 8 or 10 miles. You will never so much as get maybe 5 or 6 drips of oil outside of the head.

Check your valve guide clearence. The guides simply do NOT get enuf oil. At 34K miles my guides were worn .005 - .009. NO SLUDGE BUILD UP.
