Any tips for flushing the oil pan? It looks like I’ve been panning for gold.

Kerosene, diesel fuel, or a specialty fluid? I want to use whatever will be most effective here, even if it costs a little more.

And I'd be buying a take off 103. If I could find a lightly used one from a reputable seller, like a dealer say, I'd be all over it. I'd even consider an ebay seller with a high positive rating. Hell, there's one there right now for about $2750 with 3 miles on it. Seller has over 1000 ratings at 99.9% positive. There's another with 3000 miles for $1700 plus a couple hundred shipping. That seller has 700 reviews at 100% positive. Damn right I'd buy one of those before I spent $5-$7k on an engine.
But that's me, others wants, needs and desires may make that extra $3-$5k worth it...

OP........the 10.2 compression on the LC 124 is plenty manageable. I wouldn't worry about it.

I think your indy was looking to add an oil pan to the bill, but that's just me. There are no guarantees in life, but with a brush and a little time, I bet I could get the vast majority out. Unless he means it would take more money in his labor to clean it than to just replace it.

Sorry if I missed that this was going on a new engine. I guess I should have put that together!

Even if I go that route, though, I still need to flush out the path from the oil pan to the engine, through the transmission housing, so any suggestions for that would be much appreciated.
Thanks. I was more thinking of the 10.7 on FuelMoto's 124 or the 10.8 on the standard S&S.
