I'll spend a couple of hours and see how it goes.
So.... ymmv.... but I've been known to put a quart of diesel fuel in the crank case, get the motor hot, let it cool, repeat 4 or 5 times, then drain and flush. Oil change again in 250 miles.
This has saved many hydraulic lifters for me over the years.

Ymmv.
