Pulled intake manifold to change gaskets

I hate to be the bad news guy but you have two reasonable options.

1. Remove the engine and do a complete rebuild with hot tanking or baking the block.

2. Put it back together as is.

Any attempt to “clean” the engine at this point without a complete tear down will result in a clogged oil filter at BEST.

I’m liking option 2, fits my lazy attitude about working on it. I’ll fix the gaskets and slap it together, at least there won’t be any external leaks anymore! Haha

Yes loosening up that crud is the last thing I would want to do if not doing a complete rebuild.
