Default Dirty oily engine

Would it be terrible to drain all your oil out of your car when the head is exposed and pour a cleaner in it to get all that bad oil crap out and then wash it out and maybe when you fill it back up with oil get a water remover or something?

mmmm ouch

just change your oil every 500 miles for a while and your engine will get clean
take out the oil pan and clean it along with the pick up and such

I'd highly recommend Auto-RX. After hearing good reviews on BITOG, I bought myself a couple of bottles of it. When I pulled the head after using ARX, I saw that the head and the camshafts looked brand new. It's a great product.

Here's a picture of my engine at 150,000 miles after 2 ARX treatments
