I decided to tackle my trickflow intake yesterday, and before removing the factory lower I vacuumed the dirt and sand off it to prevent it from falling in the engine. Aparently I didnt do a good enough job, cause after cleaning up the heads for the new gaskets (being very careful that no old gasket fell in the intake bores) I shined my flashlight in to see if any old gasket fell in and I see sand particles on a couple valves! I tried getting my vacuum to suck it out, but they are stuck in the oil residue... How much will a little sand hurt those cylinders?!
P.S. I havent fully reassembled the upper intake and run the engine cause there are open ports on the lower that I need to get plugs for... I bought it used.
