The sludge was not hard plastic type of a mixture as I was quite regulare with the oil changes; it was more of a gel type of sludge, consistent with the viscosity of the addative I was adding to the oil as I added oil due to the burning.

I have looked up into the motor and did get a look at the chain tensioner and they seem ok.

Thanks MC.

P.S. I would not recommend using addatives such as this.
I gotta admit that sludge did not look familiar. Carry on.
