Thanks Jim,

I didn't stuff the ports nor tape them off -- that is a good idea. I recall, during the cleanup (hot water, soap) that there were areas of grit embedded in the AL. The objective was to clean up the exterior, but I must have run the blaster down the ports because I found some grit there. I think I was thorough, but it will worry me forever. I think I'll take it apart and clean it again, in the name of thoroughness and longevity.
