There's a good quote about riff-raff in the movie "Quigley Down Under" If you like westerns. "Swede" Swedhin.

>anything else i should do, besides maybe cry? have others had such >experiences without disaster?

Air filters are good. I can't imagine ever knowingly not using the best filtration I can get. heck, I won't even run K&Ns; cuz you can see thru them! But don't cry. Here's what I've seen. 1) I've seen mexicans driving a chevy blazer in Baja, 100 miles from the nearest paved road. They opened the hood to fuss with the motor and I saw that the Blazer had no air filter. They seemed experienced with motors, somewhat. Somehow they have developed *experience* that running motors in dusty conditions with no filter is not sudden death. 2) My Nissan truck, from mile 60,000 to mile 90,000, due to mechanic error on the east coast (then we drove it to the west coast) there was no airfilter installed (essentially). I discovered it when I went to 'change' the air filter at 90,000. There were pieces of sand in the carburetor. Lots of them caught in all the nooks and crannies. One can imagine several pounds of rocks went thru the engine in 30,000 miles. The truck now has 150,000 miles and still runs just great. Clean what you can, ride it, don't worry about it.
