Default S54 oilpan ???'s

Scored a S54 dual sump oil pan! Doubt I'll ever really need it, but figured while I'm here and it's vailable..Engine was in a fire, the injectors were burnt.. so my question is..

could the heat have harmed anything in the oil pump? No rubber seals for the pressure releif valve is there? Spring won't be weakened from heat? Oil pump looks fine and feel smooth, just cleaning the oil stains off, what a shame my swap motor is beautiful inside, clean metal, no oil stains.

Also I need to undo to main caps to install the oil pipe brackets, are new bolts necessary?

I would think most of the motor is fine, nothing metal is melted, EXCEPT the lower corner of the oil filter housing/ alt bracket. (or I would have a euro oil filter housing too) I think maybe electrical short or alternator was on fire or something..

Dipstick tube got hot, paint is half rusty, plastic dipstick handle melted away, at the bottom, only part of the plastic that touches the tube is melted, otherwise the part that is dipped in oil is fine.

You should do an s54 swap instead...
