I am hearing report that there is quite a bit of loose sand in the water jacket and swarf in the oil passages making a thorough cleaning essential. It's not that I would assemble an engine without a thorough cleaning and I don't expect these new engines to be ready to assemble. What are the experiences over there on that issue. I'm considering a sealer of some sort in the water jacket to capture the grit.
Comments/experiences please.
