I'm not sure how alarmed to be by this.

Bought a truck and the engine in it had been sitting for a while with a tarp on it. Low and behold, the tarp deteriorated and the original owner failed to plug up any access holes.

Here is what I'm dealing with:





Obviously, a couple of shreds of the tarp have found their way down the distributor hole. I imagine, short of using a long vacuum or something to get most of it out, the only way to make sure I've got 100 percent of it is to take out the engine and tear down the block.

Do I have any other options? Is this something to be concerned with? I wouldn't mind a solution like changing the oil every 1000 miles for a while as the engine works all the stuff out. Is that even feasible? It's not a hopped up race engine or anything, but I also don't want to be cruising in the desert and lose oil pressure out of nowhere....
