[urq] Damaged cylinder walls caused by sand?

[Martin Pajak]

Maurits,

Did you have any of the engine components sandblasted?
Even the intake manifold, rocker cover, etc. etc.
Probalem with sand blasting is that sand can get into small openings and
then come out after the engine is back together.

Hope this helps.
