This i what I do on every "new' old motor I acquire.

Drop oil pan and clean it and the oil pump pick up. As long as your at it pull the valve cover and clean that up also. Buy some sheets of gasket material and make your own gaskets. RTV works great but I would rather use gaskets.

If it's really filthy I have pressure washed the motor from the top and bottom. Yes I run water down through the motor. (not into the cylinders)

I then pour in 3-5 gallons of diesel fuel in the motor and let it set for a couple days or until I get back to it. Drain the diesel and put in fresh oil and filter.

I have done this on multiple motors,this technique was passed down through my family for at least 3 generations. Grandpa used kerosene.

It works great.
