I'd do it on something new to me and suspected of sludge, or something that I know I've gone to a 5 year old change cycle on and was trying to rescue. Definitely not on a motor that was something I cared about. It's a last ditch to desludge.

There's a bottom end from under that head still under the hood too. Little hot tank action and it's nicely seasoned too...

And smike's new collection. And the other '84 4.2 I have complete.

They're growing on trees!

If it ends up sitting around at some point I'd consider it but I think more exotic and economical options are my plan

tick has potentially been identified as loose manifold bolts… ???

carbon build up around 6th cyl and loose bolts…
