A little kerosene and a brush used to clean up the top end, followd by a good drain and cleaning of the pan is all you need. Then run a detergent oil.
Detergent in terms of a motor oil is not the same term as doing your laundry. In oil, it is not a solvent, it is a surfactant, rated for its ability to hold particles and sludge n suspension to get them to the filter, or to hold them in suspension until drained. It does not imply (scrubbing bubbles) that will break loose clods that will clog the oil galleries. It can actually be helpful over time by allowing particles in the soft surface of inaccessible sludge to lift and be suspended or filtered out.
As far as the bearings, I think the face of the conventional main and rod bearings is a much later and more durable alloy than babbitt. They are most definitely not poured babbitt bearings.
