Default knocking and sludge on my oil plug

ok my car started knocking the other day and i just drained the oil after letting it sit and there is somekinda sludge on my magnetic oil plug. i havent found any shavings yet so thats good news but whered this sludge come from? could my filter have been over filled by 3000 miles? i used seafom on a motor that was running very rich for a long time and could the filter have been so over loaded from carbon it let this **** just go through? i popped the valve cover off and didnt find any of this **** in the head. wtf

Is your sludge hard like paint and shiney? Just found a coating on my 97 accord LX 4 cyl oil plug at 114000 miles. Mine is hard and one honda owner says this is normal for a honda oil plug. Trying to figure if it is sludge or a coating honda puts on the plug.
