It's all true. I'm guessing that the engine burned most of the rag and what ever didn't get burned got chopped up by the valves and turbo. I read somewhere that Cummins actually dropped a bunch of stuff in the intake of these motors to see what would stop them up. Things like nuts, bolts, rags, etc. I wish I could find where I read that at.
