You will see how dirty and grimmy the engine is ounce you get the pan off. If it looks fairly clean I would just clean the parts that you take off like the pan, rod cap, and rod and so on. Clean all internal engine parts that you remove before installing them again. The only real good way to do an extensive cleaning job if it is really filthy inside will require a complete tear down. That can wait tell a complete overhaul is done. That would be a good time to do both. Buying all the gaskets and seals and filter and oil gets a little expensive just to clean the internal engine, not to mention the work. When storing internal engine parts they should be oiled or greased to prevent rusting. When assembling internal engine parts they should be clean. Anything that is going to have contact with other medal should be pre-lubed during the assembly process. This would include rod journals and bearings, piston sleeves, rings, pistons, valve guides, rocker arms, you get the picture. I use to assemble v-8 automobile engines and would go through 2 quarts of oil during the assembly process. You can also buy an engine prelube to lube up these parts but with mainly all used parts you can get by with just the same kind of oil you use in tractor. I probably used a little extra oil in my assembly process but when I got the pan on and then engine setting upright I got a little free with it becuase all the oil had to be poured in anyway ounce you get it together. Whenever doing a complete teardown and assembly always fill the oil pump and the oil filter up with oil if possible when you assemble them. Then, if you can, actuate the oil pump by hand without turning engine over and this will fill up all of your oil galley's and you will have oil pressure faster when you get the engine running again. There is just all kinds of little tricks to working on internal engines.
