It seems that it cant really get any worse, so your options are (a) leave as is and drive until it dies, (b) try to remidy the issue and hope for the best, (c) engine swap or (d) sell it.

I meant how much damage do you think was done by the idiot previous owner causing that sludge buildup in the first place, not what the dissolving would do. If the consensus is the engine was badly damaged already, no need to try to clean it out. My apologies, I wasn't clear.
I guess it comes down to if I *think* the engine will at least last as long as the transmission, then it may be worth keeping and just swapping in a rebuilt engine later. If the current engine will last 2, maybe 3 years, I'll feel like I got my money's worth out of it and the car....
I bought a 'spare' VG30E from a older maxima I intend on rebuilding (and turboing) for my 300zx, maybe I should rebuild my 300zx engine after that swap and stick it in the Maxima.
