    Is there anything

    say an additive that you can put in to reduce the build up and clean or breakdown the gunk?

    I'll let others chime in here if they have had some success, but I haven't really seen anything that anyone has tried work very well. Some have reduced their oil consumption, but as far as I know no one has completely stopped it on one of the original engines. Jerry Lemond suggested running Rotella oil? Can someone verify that? I think it's a diesel engine oil and it is supposed to have more solvents in it to help keep things clean.
