99 SLE Gunk Engine Flush...Sludge?

[keatingfee]

Hello everyone and thanks in advance for your help and replies. I have a 99 SLE V6(1MZ-FE) and i just did a Motor Flush Using the Gunk Brand. Next i was planning on taking off the valve cover and seeing what the situiation looked like.I have already purchased a new felpro valve cover gasket. Now i have to say i wouldnt know the slightest about any of this without the help of members on this forum and also on BITOG. Before i remove the valve cover, I have a concern about the engine flush. I have read that after doing an engine flush, because of the possibility of Large pieces breaking off, Its sometimes not enough to simply drain and replace filter, and that many reccomend taking off the oil pan and cleaning off a Sepereate oil filter or screen thats above the pan. I am hoping for some help with this. I am a noob and have minimal knowledge but am learning more every day. That being said i am hoping someone can help me with exactly what i need to do and what needs to be removed and how to get to the oil filter or screen that some say can get clogged after doing a motor flush. I didnt know this but after looking at a schematic of oem parts available for this engine, i now see that there is a upper and lower oil pan and then above that would a an oil pick up( i believe). Here is a link to the page that shows the engine parts and pictures i used as a reference. http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=getJointLocator&siteid=840&chapter=&Sectionids=10,0&groupid=10014&subgroupid=60878&componentid=0&make=34&model=Solara&year=1999&graphicID=F800044&callout=5&catalogid=1&displayCatalogid=0
So bottom line i just want to find out if this is really recommended before replacing oil and running enging, and also any pointers on how exactly to get to the part i need to clean, what needs to be removed and how and if its something i can do in my garage or if i should let my car sit until i can afford to have a professional help out. Please forgive my ignorance on all of this. Im sorry for the length of this post, i just didnt want to leave anything out that would make it harder for anyone to give me the help i need. Thanks
