Clean that out of there and give it a few squirts of oil. It'll run. LOL
Usually the block is OK. I understand that drag racer teams purposely leave a new block out in the elements to age for a year (cast-iron relaxes or such), then final machine it. But entire slant engines are so cheap or free, no need to fool with it.
Oh that will buff right out
They advertise Slick 50 on slants (and other solid lifter straight sixes) running with no oil or even pans. They are just idling, you can see the crank and rods slinging underneath all day.
Machinist for 30 years here...I can say 100% for a fact that metal DOES indeed relax.....many parts set to the side for a week or more before final machining....before and after measurements verify metals will settle and relax....Usually the block is OK.

There was a guy selling slick 50 at Pomona thay would run this slant on propane and no oil. It would idle all day. That sludge slant is crazy. I expect something to start crawling in there. Nissan had a sludge prob as well as the mopar 2.4 v6. And there are guys here that still won't run PCV.This is for real. The commercial on tv back in the '90's, when they pulled the pan and ran it with slick 50, it was a slant six
