No, find the source of the debris generation, and resolve that issue. Then you must carry out an extensive process to flush any remaining material from the engine, in its entirety.
Note- Used Oil Analysis will not detect debris greater than 30 micron, so if you can see the debris, it will not show in a UOA.
Any engine with any debris is not a candidate for an IMSR until all material is removed and the source of the debris is addressed.
Non ferrous material can also be cylinder material, after the winter we had this year, cylinders are failing like mad, 4 calls in two days so far this week
