Default Dropped my oil pan, here's some pics. Considering cleaning somehow
Bottom of crank
Cam... well... hole... whatever.
Dropped the oil pan on the motor I plan to throw into my truck. Doing a cam install and new oil pump while I'm at it since the motor is out and it's 100k old.

Question is, does this dirtiness look worse than average? There a way I can clean this? I'm not going any deeper into the motor or pulling pistons or anything.

Thoughts? Ideas from the many here more experienced than I? Thanks, guys. 🖒

Looks normal for a engine that likely ran regular conventional oil. Little bit of baked on goodness.

Just run better oil and toss a little bit of transmission fluid in there with your oil changes and it may clear up.

Would it be a good idea to run an aftermarket Oil pan or Transmission pan?
