Small debris in my crankcase
I was replacing the oil pan gasket on my 383 about 15 feet from my open garage door. I had spilled some oil on the driveway earlier and put down some sweeping compound on it. Then a gust of wind came and sprinkled it in my garage all the way to my engine as seen in pics.
do I need to tear it down AGAIN? or can I let it run for a few and let the filter catch it?

Clean out what you can, don't sweat the rest. The filter will catch it.
Follow the normal break-in procedure. Don't get all paranoid about the clay.

Re: Small debris in my crankcase
Make sure the oil filter bypass is plugged or it will not capture all the debris and run a good fitler.
The guy in this link had a cam shaft go bad scaring up the journals of the crand if the bypass was plugged it would have saved the crank.
