Default How bad is this?

I finally go around to looking at the bottom end of my 2006 L33. It was supposed to have 60k miles on it but if it did, they never changed the oil.

This is my first ls build so I'm not really sure how bad this is. Can I clean it up and let it roll or does it need a full rebuild? What do you guys think?

looks fine to me, just needs some TLC, if it only had 60k I would just check the mains and it they look good then clean up the pick up tube and pan and throw it back it together and send it....get a new O ring for the pickup tube and a new cam retainer plate and you should be good to go

Thanks! I'm switching to an f body pan so the pickup, pan, and tray are all new.

Mine looked like that. I chose to completely disassemble and clean. Everything was good. I re-gapped the rings for boost and reassembled.
