Default Drop the oil pan and clean it out.

One of the guys in our club has been collecting Chevys for a long time and he cautions that because of the dipper lubrication system it is wise to drop the oil pan and clean out the sump and particularly the splash sumps. He says that he has had the little thin steel dippers be damage by hitting heavy sludge in the dipper pans. Of course the result of these dippers being bent or plugged with sludge can mean a destroyed bearing if not scored crank.

But then again you may find what I found on my C60 that the inside of the pan and the dipper trays are clean.

Good luck I hope to fire up the 216 in a pattern 12 that has not been run in at least 25 years this spring. Engine turns over with the crank with the plugs out but I'm going to pull the pan first.

Cheers
