If you find lots of metal inside your case, you’ll need to remove the oil galley plugs to get a proper thorough cleaning. There are some dead ends that can collect metal particles that could later loosen under heat and pressure and go directly into the bearings. BTDT. Not worth having to do the job all over again.
