Thanks. I use high quality oil and and filters on a LN spin on filter adapter, but I have no idea what the previous owner(s) used. Actually, I see that as good news in that lifters, and maybe cam(s), should take care of it. I was more concerned that perhaps these engines have oil feed issues (more than the normal M96 oiling issues), or something of that nature that are more difficult, although perhaps cheaper, to take care of.
I have a few other projects to take care of before I dig into this one, so there likely won't be any update on this soon. It is just a hunch, but I doubt that I am going to find serious damage, but who knows. Maybe it will be 3.6l time.
