I think you're referring to sludge, which is common on most engines especially Toyota if engine is not properly maintained/serviced.

The only proper way to get rid of it is to remove the valve cover and clean it using chemicals. While doing so, you might want to check on your head and valvetrain area as well to see if there's anymore sludge. If the entire head is covered with sludge, its best to do a top overhaul.

Refer pic below:

what do you mean by top overhaul? only overhaul the top part --> cam shaft, valve, ...... ??
 
sludge can be simply cleaned out by using a good engine oil, if the engine is okay generally, then no need for any overhaul
