It'd be too easy to crack one during the re-installation and have it fall apart. Then where would you be thinking all was good. Unfortunately there's no simple solution. Clear today, plugged tomorrow.

Yeah that's why I was asking, the crappy part is the potential damages from a plugged piston cooling jet aren't a very promising prospect either.
I was kinda thinking like the head being replaced at 500k miles, maybe the piston jets get replaced too as a precaution. That's the only thing I could think of as a remotely acceptable level of risk.

On a good note, it was running fine till it got tore down, even with a plugged up jet. Front cover was leakin pretty bad, owner decided to do the whole thing while he had a spare truck. It's on the flip side now though.
