That towel setting in the lifter valley reminds me of a Member Tom Bachman came back here with an engine I sold him with low oil pressure. First thing we did was pulled the filter, After seeing the strings we pulled the pan.
He installed an Aluminum intake and laid a T-shirt in there when he scraped the gasket off the heads. He forgot the T-shirt when he bolted the intake on. It was wrapped around the cam and the crank. What a mess that was. Make sure you don't forget the towel. LOL
