I worked at Clark Street 85-87. I was in QC, mostly on 2nd. Still love those D cars. There's still a few of us left over to the Tech Center.

I had a 260 Olds V-8 that they ran without PCV breathers for 50k. Dripped oil from the valve covers. Pulled them, took a coffee can of sand out of the motor, spent 7 hours and 3 gallons kerosene getting the drains open. Ran 4 quater oil and 1 diesel and changed daily until stopped getting sand out. Motor ran for anther 100K with noting but a timing chain.

Run a can of motor flush, change your oil, repeat. Use good detergent oils, preferably Havoline or Valvoline (Quaker and Penzoil tend to heve more eastern crude which is higher in wax).

If it doen't clear up then the valve covers will have to come off. Judging by your post you might want to just do it and get it over.
