Flushed everything and removed oil filter, and here you can see a very nice shiny metallic puddle

I thought the first start noises would go away after a while running -engine has been sat for more than a year- but a follower from the gearbox side keeps ticking. Note how the pitch changes when I go towards the brake fluid reservoir



Not that I'd expect the engine to be very smooth after the amount of debris I found...

Tomorrow I'll check compression and the bearings and decide what to do. This isn't definitely what I was looking for: an engine rebuild. If I had wanted to do so I'd have reman the original so much dissappointment with this purchased engine.
