Would I be able to get away with just taking the intake off? Or should it be completely taken down?
I would pull the intake and the oilpan. I once bought a "fresh" motor that was "just" rebuilt and left outside for "3 days".
The oilpan came off with a rubber mallet. The oil pickup was rusted to the bottom of the oilpan.
The only open hole on the motor was at the oil sending port. Water ran down that hole, through the oil passages (lifters, etc.) and sat there long enough to rust up and dry. The rest of the motor was spotless.
Too many cars, too many parts, too little coin, too little space to work in, too little time left to make it all happen!
Update: down to one ride, still too many parts, a little more jingle in the pocket, gaining space, and it's going to happen this year!
