will this hurt anything?
when i finished scaping the old headgasket off of the block (still in car) some of the old shavings got into the cylinders. i was wondering if these would hurt anything. i would think they might. if so whats the easiest way to get it out? i was thinking compressed air but i dont have an air compressor to blow it out with.

I used a shop vac to get most of it out. Whatever couldn't be pulled out by hand or with the shop vac I figured was too small to do any damage and would get burnt up and pushed out the exhaust anyways.
