you may want to consider dropping the pan and rebuilding the oil pump, and clean all the gunk out of the pan. fill it back up with 5 quarts of oil and a can of seafoam, run it until it hits operating temp, then drain it out and change it with fresh oil. Everything should be good and cleaned out by then.
