I agree with most of what you are saying. Getting rather extensive for just sitting a couple years in my opinion. Fluids will tend to turn bad over time. 2 years and the gas would for sure not be real good. Be good idea to change oil as well. Coollant should be holding up fairly well after 2 years. Most people don't change coolant for many years. Don't see how it could turn bad or have alot of sluge/gunk built up anywhere after 2 years. Turned wrenches for a few years myself. The only sure way to clean internal engine is to do a complete tear down and clean each piece spotless and reassemble. Little bit against cleaning an assembled engine myself. You can work dirt, sludge, rust, and so on loose in an attempt to clean an assembled engine but you can't do a good job of getting that crap out of the engine. Thousands of little nooks, and cranny's to catch that crap that you have worked loose not to mention oil ports and galleys, bearings, and so on. Anything left will get into the flow of the new oil and start circulating and as you mentioned, only small amount of oil goes through the oil filter. Makes me wonder if flushing with kerosene and so on will do more harm than good.
