Dropping sump because of sludge (pic inside) [update, more pictures]

[_R_J_K_]

That's at the level of engine replacement.

Maybe try running some of that oil flush liquid through it....

Assuming nothing has been completely blocked etc causing other damage, then give it a good clean and all should be fine.

Needs a bit more than oil flush though.

All I saw was a timing chain and vomit after bad chilli.

got 2 choices with that sludge:

1. ignore it
2. buy a new engine

no amount of sump removal will get that crap off

Come on now, 'fess up. How did this terrible thing happen?

If your going to that much trouble I'd take the motor out and strip it down if I was keeping it

What the hell has caused that? Would an engine flush even touch that stuff?

Not a hope in hell... high pressure degreaser. Mebbe.

It's not that bad. Bit of sludge. It can be cleaned, but I would completely strip it and clean it properly. If you use a flush, it will only break it down smaller and block more ****.
