This is what is happening to the inside of your engine. Any more questions? :B

Yup, just proof that damage occurs. The problem with your analogy is that if isn't happening at a few thousand degrees (or whatever the combustion temps.are). And, norhing in my engine is glass, and it has oil to suspend the dirt particles, a filter to remove those particles, etc.

Ok, I'll try one more time to explain friction, scoring and what high silicon rates can do to the inside of an engine.

Here is a little reading for you that explains it. This is from an engineering point of view. It's easy reading and this article explains it very well.

As far as not having glass n your engine. Very true. Everything is much softer and will wear much faster than glass. You made my point very well.

If you still don't believe me or the links provided please feel free to do experimenting on your own engine. I suggest driving on a dusty fine sandy road or a dusty volcanic road. This should make you a believer in a day or two. :B
