91k... your milage may vary.

sand coming from cores that were not completely cleaned
during manufacturing is a problem, and one that is not easily
resolved.

most of the egr fixes are 1/2" 304 stainless tubing as a core,
and it won't plug up like a wafer heat exchanger... but it
varies from block to block, and the ultimate coolant filter
is the heat exchanger itself.... it's just a pain to change...
