Hatty, I'm not going to pull the main pan... there is precious little shrapnel in there, and it's all small (except for the couple large chunks). There's a lot of fine swarf, gray powder like you find inside a tranny pan. But after wiping the inside of the pan clean, and as much as I can in the timer area, I'm going to have to call it good. I'd have to pull the engine, oil pan, timing cover, etc and literally wash every part down with solvent otherwise. Not gonna happen. I think I'll run fresh dino Delvac for ~200 miles after it's back together as a "flush", and then change oil & filter again. Or something like that.
