I've torn down Buick V-8 engines where the lead deposits that precipitated out of the oil and collected in the oil pan and the lifter valley areas, and up on top of the cylinder heads, were downright scary. Once I knew what it was, I now wear nitrile gloves, and dispose of the sludge scraped into plastic jugs and taken to the local hazardous waste site.
