[urq] Damaged cylinder walls caused by sand?

[Patrick Carlier]

I'de guess you're using a k&n or similar crappy air filter
and that you drive on sandy roads often .

If you do have the std paper filter installed it could be
that the guy's who rebuild the engine in the first place
did a poor job and allowed dirt to enter the cilinders .
