<VV> Failed Fuel Pump

[JHennes114 at aol.com]

I had an episode yesterday in my 63 Spyder Coupe. My fuel pump failed and 
resulted in a crankcase that was overfilled with a combination of fuel and 
synthetic oil. I drove (limped) 15 miles home. After cleaning the mess in the engine 
compartment and ordering a new fuel pump from Clarks, I drained the crankcase 
and discarded the oil filter. 

Question 1. Is it likely that I have done some irreparable damage to the 
cylinders by washing them with the oil / fuel combination? 

When it is time to fire up again, I am planning to fill the crankcase with 
new oil, run the engine for a short period and discard it and the filter and 
refill with oil once again.

Question 2. Does anyone know if this is a standard operating procedure after 
such an event? 

Question 3. Are there any other steps that I should take? 
 
Any advice would be appreciated.
