Default yea thats already out.. i have the whole pump off, thinking of just dunking it/letting it soak..
didn't know if there was any plastic or o-rings internally that would be damaged.. you think im good to go?

yep, pretty much all metal in there other than that. I'd go for it.

Here I see a chain to the oil pump -- no intermediate shaft . . . . .
