Engine sludge killer? Oil pan change advice

[BEAR_times]

I'm replacing my oil pan because I just stripped the threading by accident. I'm assuming there will be some sludge to clean once the oil pan comes off. A HT memer recommended using brake cleaner. Does anyone have any advice for me? I would like to find a way to flush out any gunk that may be inside my engine block. I will have a rare opportunity to give my engine the TLC she needs. My d16y8 has about 115K miles. BTW, will a d16y7 oil pan work with my engine block?

brake cleaner or throttle cleaner

the real question is why are you replacing the oil pan if one of the bolts is stripped?
