Good idea to drop the pan if possible. The pick-up screen.....I'll flush it out keeping an eye on oil pressure (mechanical gauge in dash) and then plan to drop the pan (need to replace pan gasket anyway leaks like crazy and backflush the oil pickup to clean the screen out......
is very close to the pan bottom, so it may be partially
clogged already. (I had this happen to a Mustang once.)
Since the head looks this bad, the pan has to be full
of gunk too....
