Did you drain the engine oil before taking the lines out? If not, how much oil is left in the lines and cooler so I can be ready with a drip pan? TIA!
For the oil lines I used a brass wire brush on a die grinder and alot of patience. Castrol Purple stuff and citrus orange works good for the crud. One of those lines in the pic is new the others were polished. They come pretty clean with a little bit of work.

Yes empty both the tank and the sump - even then the lines are still full and the cooler also - it is pretty messy.
