The easiest way is to use an engine flush additive, but that carries the danger of breaking-up the sludge and carrying it into small galleries and oilways and starving parts of your engine of lubrication. Far better not to have allowed the engine to sludge-up in the first place.

Drain the oil fill engine with a flushing oil , it is designed to melt sludge and hold it untill it is drained,run engine on tickover for about a quarter of and hour drain , then refill with new oil

I have a feeling you may be talking about the valve (rocker) cover and if so then just remove it and clean it out with parafin or kerosene.
Why is there sludge in there?

Well to be on the safe side as the guy who owns a repair shop,,I have heard that you can get a complete engine flush,,but it might set you back a few bucks,,,I don't know,but I have heard of using kerosene,

Must order it online...... but autorx... its slow, effective, and UN-harmful..... its a slow cleaner... slow is good, fast harsh cleaners can and may break loose large chunks that can clog the oil pump pickup.....
