Take all but the bottom rack out of your oven and preheat to between 175 and 200 degrees. NO HOTTER THAN 200! You don't want to cook it. Use a thermometer if you have to. Turn the saya bottom side up, opening side down. wrap a dry small towel or washcloth around the bottom which will be facing up, to protect the finish from the inside of oven, and a paper towel around the top (opening end pointing down) and place it in the oven with curve facing up, and close the door. Most ovens will take the saya at an angle in this way. If need be, tie the saya cords so they don't hang and touch the rack or bottom of oven. Make sure the oven is preheated well first so that the element will not come on while the saya is inside. You can actually turn the oven off right after you put put the saya in just to be safe. Let it stay in for 10 to 15 minutes. As it gently heats the waxy paste will liquefy and do two things. The extra will run out in to the paper towel, and the remainder will soak into the wood, better preserving it. Don't leave it in too long, and check it after at least 10 minutes. Take it out and shake/tap it so that the excess will run out into the paper towel. If the saya feels too hot to hold, turn down the heat to 175. Ovens heat differently. Just wipe off the excess. Now your katana will not be unsightly when you draw it from your saya.

What is the definition of gunk?

Gunk is a thick and messy substance. Synonyms are slime, muck, sludge. It is offensive when you describe someone as gunk. Gunk is all the nasty stuff that collects over the years at the bottom of the gas tank. Generally, it would be any gooey sticky nasty stuff you really don't want to get on you.

It may need a new throttle positioning sensor, or the temp control plug it is located on the intake manifold towards the front, also may be timing, the gunk may be oil so your valve seals in the heads might be bad, good luck.
