Something else to do when you get the motor apart.  Use brake cleaner for a 
final flush of the oiling system / block / pan.  Regular mineral spirits parts 
cleaner will get most of the metal out but it is a bit too oily to get all of 
it.

Brake cleaner is a light solvent that will cut loose any remaining metal.
