The other method would be to remove the entire front cover with the gears inside, if you are that afraid to touch them.

Get your 12mm allen key and remove the oil pressure regulator for a closer look to see if any foreign debris made its way through.

You can expect scratches because the oil has not
been through the filter yet.
The holes are interesting. I wonder what the reason is.

Will the motor mount on one side (if I bolt my other hoist to one side) hold? Those bolts aren't very big.

The ideal engine stand to have used for this engine would've been the one manufactured by Norco like this one: 2,000 Lbs. Engine Stand - NORCO Industries

using these adapters:

Engine Mounting Adapter - Made in USA - NORCO Industries

This way, you could remove both the front and rear engine covers on the stand.

However in absence of that, you may just end up having to lay the engine flat on the ground upside down to gain access to the rear engine cover.
