Yep, thats why I said I think it is a bad design. I'll bet that when summer
rolls around if you clean it out it won't get sludged up near as bad as it's
doing now. But I think the only real answer is to design a much shorter one
that doesn't have that 'captive air space' on top of the engine. I'm sure
some inguneer is mahty proud of how easy he made it fer us to put erl in our
new trucks......

I do agree with you that it is normal, but the amount that I have
collecting, and the fact that the stuff just never disappears, is what I
don't like. When I take the cap off, I can watch the water flow down into
the head. I cleaned it out on a morning before a 200 mile highway journey,
the next day I went out there and checked it, and it was full again. The
journey was with 50-60 degree heat. Wouldn't you expect to see no water and
sludge buildup? Well I think I will dig out the digital camera and take a
pic of my sludge tomorrow morning, so you all can see my "dyno snot"
collection...
