IF you do something, do the #4 post deal, and/or pull the pan.

DO NOT try to put some stupid flush treatment in the oil. You get some of or all of the crap broke loose, you can ruin the engine at worst, or get the crud on the cylinder walls and make yourself a wonderful oil burner.

Pulling the pan is no easy task, unless you have experience doing this kind of thing. Worst part is the safety aspect, dealing with the heavy engine in suspension while working on it on your back, under the vehicle...I've done it, likely never again!!!

If the engine performs fairly well, and serves your purpose until you can completely rebuild it, I'd leave it alone, also!!!
