OK so today i stripped the air filter, maf sensor, throttle body etc, when i removed the throttle body one of the breather pipes was completely blocked with sludge, so i cleaned that out, the engine itself is caked in sludge so could seriously do with a flush, what should i use to do it?, im already planning to run petrol injector cleaner into the engine to try and make it run better

OK well al tell everyone how I fixed this any-ways, i stripped the throttle body and cleaned it with some brake fluid cleaner and a clean rag, i then removed and cleaned the breather housing which was loaded with hundreds of carbon and oil deposits, i then put the breather and throttle body back together and flushed the oil system using this (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1-X-LATEST-ADVANCE-FORMULA-FORTE-ENGINE-OIL-FLUSH-GENUINE-/300796549670?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4608df1a26), this cleaned the oil up and i then replaced the oil filter and put some new oil in, the car now feels smoother and doesn't stink of carbon when i lift the bonnet.
