If the filter is clean and not bypassing then this would limit the 
freshly loosened junk to a single pass thru the engine, at most. It's 
certainly better than without a filter, but you have to ask yourself 
what the point is. Deposits do no harm unless they come loose, so 
why go to extra effort to break them loose?

Of course you can't do anything about the ones that come loose on 
their own, but if you have the filter then you limit the damage.

The best thing to do is to rebuild the engine, clean everything up, 
and install the filter.
