The heat from combustion will burn them up, and split what remains out the exhaust. I've seen motors take in a lot worse and keep on going.
The thing that concerns me at this point if I decide to keep running the stock block after cleaning everything..............from what I have been told is that there is a chance if or when the stock block lets go I could end up damaging the turbo? I always thought worst case scenario I throw a rod through the block and boom thats it just buy another motor. Does anyone have any insight on a worst case scenario if the stock block takes a S#!t do I risk damaging the turbo.....I am not fond of buying multiple turbos and intercoolers right now.
