If the oil pan looks like that, don't forget the valve chamber and the drip tubes to the main bearings. They are probably just as bad from my experience.

Yup!

And then, after you clean out the pan and the valve chamber and put it all back together, pour a quart of your refill oil slowly down the distributor hole in the head. It will refill the valve chamber and the dip tray in the oil pan so that when you start up, everything is getting oil.

Amazing. Thanks for the video. I'd be thinking about trying to flush some kerosene or diesel through the whole system and dropping the pan again after seeing that.
