hi joe had figured out what my

hi joe had figured out what my motor was.Well next thing I did was a compression check. 124-126.the lower end was off the motor when I got the boat(the guy said because it wouldnt shift gears). I got the shift rod to move thru the gears.this boat had been neglected since 94 so i drained the oil and it was very thick and dark grey. I think this was from condensation and age anyway my question is can I put something in there that would clean out the sludge like wd 40 or something else to rinse it before putting in fresh lube?

"i ran some mineral turpentine thrue mine, then let it sit for a couple of days to dry out.when i re-filled it i let a little bit of oil run out to check for dirt/grit ...seems to be fine =)"
