Fred, some years back I decided to remove and clean the oil pan on my '56 Caribbean which as best as I could judge had not been previously removed. There wasn't a tremendous amount of sludge in the pan itself but sludge was partially clogging the oil pump intake screen. The car had about 85,000 miles on it at the time, had been owned by a Packard enthusiast since new which means its probably had better than average care. And no doubt it was on a lifetime diet of detergent oil.
