My next idea is to kill each cyl 1 at a time by disconnecting coil and injector to see if any 1 cyl smokes more.

That’s a good plan.
I am concerned (as I suspect you are) about your comment about the amount of oils sludge in the sump. Are you literally saying it was a layer a couple of inches deep? The AOS pickups are down there, I think.
