Woohoo! Finally jumped my timing chain!

I doubt you bent the valves at there mere .399 lift , they hardly get past the deck.
Get yourself a piece of garden hose duct taped on to a high power shop vac ,and with car lifted a lil, spray non clor brake cleaner into the pan through where the timing cover went to wash the crap over to one side and then vac it out.
It's all/mostly in the sump.

You can drop the pan but -center link, check plate, raise engine, fighting with the seals and all for someone who might not be mechanically inclined does not work well and can lead to a dead driveway ornament.
