As I go along here and own the car, and learn about it, if it has any issues like a low hole or needing anything major, then yes, I will be going through the engine.
The box, we'll see, I may do that too if it's not running perfectly, especially if the engine needs to come out for whatever reason.
I AM very happy to have it back running again though.
The one or 2 other motors I've seen with metal bits in the pan did not continue to run.
