How was it running before you took the pan off?

If you were happy with it. Clean the pan and put it back on.

Model A engines can take a lot of abuse or use. Maybe run a little heavier oil, 20w-50, with a bottle of STP. Mavel Mystery Oil in gas for valves.

200 to 300 miles per year? Even a really worn out engine could last ten to twenty years.

There great cars. Enjoy.
