You might be okay BUT I'd take them out and clean them Just incase there is something still there.

Do an oil change, just as extra precaution.

I'm guessing you'll be alright since not much can get trapped in there. I do the same with my spark plugs.

At least it wasn't silicon carbide or aluminum oxide.
That'd be a REAL bummer.

I don't think I'd worry about changing the oil....

Changing the oil will not help as sand would not get into the crankcase from there.

I would be worried that the sand would get between the Apex seal the rotorhousing. I doubt that it would.....

I think you'll be ok. I would pull the plugs, blow out the holes and turn the motor over with the plugs out.

Hope everything is ok.

Good grief guys, I had a dirt dauber build a nest inside of the back rotor on my SE a couple of years back while it was in the ditch for 6 months getting the engine bay cleaned, etc. I slowly turned the rotor (it locked up a few times) back and forth and blew the crap out with an air hose.

Runs like a charm (but of course, not recommended if you want it to stay alive in the long run).
