Meh thats not sludge. Yeah cant say it was sludged up until you pull the valve cover and it looks like you just removed the top of a mold.had a buddy who opened up a 73 351w and there were little pockets in the sludge were the pushrods and rockers moved

Old VW air cooled motors and Quaker state oil was not a good combinition.

The motors would slude the oil in about 3,000 miles. Pull the valve pan covers off, and you couldn't see any of the valve train.

Rebuilt a few of these back in the day.

What Happens If You Don't Change The Oil In Your Audi For 84,000 Miles

You have to be a moron not to change the oil after so many miles.

^^^^^ I have seen that before in a Honda Accord. Aftermarket warranty did not pay for the new engine.
