    The dipstick looks good. The heads and gaskets are new. SO I dont think theres a problem there. I was just concerned about the amount of the sludge. I had some other ball milled aluminum valve covefrs and didn't have the problem. Maybe its specific to these sheet metal type?

    That stuff is called "white paint" up here. It's more of a problem with certain brands of oil than others, so try switching. A hotter thermostat will reduce it, too. Make sure your PCV system is working well, to vent the moisture out.
