2012 Chevrolet Caprice PPV

I drained the oil and saw more gold flakes, plus a needle bearing from the failed rocker arm, which wasn't surprising.
Removed the old oil pan and saw more needle bearings, plus bits of the trunnion and needle bearings in the oil pump pickup tube screen.

How can I effectively clean this, or do I need to buy a new one? 9428.jpg

I think I would would to look inside the oil pump to make sure nothing got inside. Hopefully its all chunks like that that didn't get through.

With that lip folded inward, I think it would be difficult to clean it, I would replace it.
