I'm rebuilding a 6 bolt at the moment that chucked the oil shaft bearing (some how) and it was just sitting in the oil pan. I'm doing a balance shaft delete and and machining the engine. I know that I really shouldn't be machining the crank but the car is just going to be a stock dd. So, there's tons of metal shavings in the pan, and in the screen of the pickup tube. I know the oil cooler is junk and I'm just going to loop the lines for now. But will it be the same for the oil filter housing and oil pump/case? Can those get metal shavings in it? And can I tear it apart and clean them out?
