Uhhh... its not supposed to do that... It will clog up your pump. I suggest you flush the liquie ASAP...

It's probably just dust left over from their 'lapping' job. If it's truly a dust, I doubt if it'll hurt much, but flushing the system would be a safe precaustion.

yea, after I lapped my WW I noticed that the inside was dirty. Take a q-Tip to wipe out what you can with it, and a toothpick to scrub inside of the channels with running water running through it.

Definately flush that block with water, perferably distilled water. If you have an air compressor, probably a good idea to flush with water, and then blow it out with air ... maybe set the air pressure a bit lower so you don't have any "surprises" ... maybe 20 psi or so. Repeat a few times, and you should be OK. Good luck.

PS: Safety glasses are a good idea as I've gotten a face-full of water when I wasn't careful doing something similar!
