I picked up an Alfetta that sat for a while with the valve cover off. I pulled the head to replace the head gasket and noticed some dirt down the timing chain cover. Any tips on cleaning as I don't want to pull the cover if I don't have to. Does the lower cover connect to the oil pan? Thinking about using solvent down the cover and pulling the oil pan to flush it out?
I'm doing my best to minimize any dirt getting into the oil pump and bearings.
