Alright, Gentlemen

Here is the view from underneath with the oil pan removed . Definite oil passage(s) blocked.

Nothing felt broken or scored that I could reach, but experience (and lack thereof) tells me to continue reading the assembly manual on my new 2000 lb engine stand (I returned the clutch kit I had bought )... My neighbor has a cherry picker he can wheel over...

Unless there is a substantial amount of advice from all of you contrary to me pulling the engine, that's the direction I'm leaning toward. So can anyone weigh in from what the pictures show ???

Thanks!
