While the motor is out, unbolt the oil pan and clean out the gunk. Bolt it back up with a nice one piece silicone gasket, no more seepage. Unbolt the intake, and wipe the gunk out of the lifter valley. Bolt it back on with new gaskets. When you put the engine back in fill it with cheap oil and a bottle of sea foam. Run it for about 50 miles then drain out the remainder of the gunk. Now you have nice clean guts!
