Were I thou, I'd spin that engine, plugs out, with the starter 'til the oil light goes out. Minimal stress on the tight parts.
I wonder if you could leave the pan off, plumb the pickup into a bucket of clean oil, spin it and let the return make a mess into a plastic sheet? Or even plumb a pump to the pickup and and pump a bunch of solvent/kerosene through the engine without spinning it? I guess the oil pump would act like a dam if you tried that. Pump it in through the oil filter mount?

The DFW gang rides again.
John you must be really please and smiling from ear to ear. Wish I could have been more involved than just supplying the girdle.

this was an all out effort by the group. I could have never done it without the DFW crew. I drove home last night at midnight with a HUGE smile on my face!!!
