Yep, not good. You should do a thorough job of cleaning the lower end, including the oil pump to clean it and its oil screen.
As long as it is off, as you planned check/adjust bearings. Check for wear and damage on the crank and Babbitt bearings
Also definitely pull the access cover and clean out as mentioned above.
This is why we shudder when we see U-Tube videos of people resuscitating As, put some water in it, fresh fuel, clean plugs, points and start it.
Did you figure out your distributor issue yet?
