Dude, learn to check your screen before you hit post and try saying what you mean. If there is actually sand in the motor don't bother going any further unless you're tearing it completly down and rebuilding everything. You'll need new cam bearing, rings, and probably lots of machine work.
Yes real sand and dirt in bottom of oil Pan

Yep, that should do it. Let us know when it's all up and running. Take care.

Probably a junk/core motor. Freegdr had the best plug-n- play option. That motor is junk.

How is it junk. It has excellent. Compression. I plan to pull the crank and have it worked. A Jeep buddy of mine. That worked at a stealership told me that. Its in fair shape needs a crank turn and bearings. He said it isn't a bad motor so please. Enlighten me

Because if you really have sand in there, what you are seeing is just the tip of the iceburg.
You are looking at a crank, crank bearings, rods, rod bearings, cam and bearings at absolute minimum. Assuming they can be resurfaced? Maybe. You could also be looking at lifters, cylinder wall resurfacing, lord knows what else.
It would be less-expensive to drop in a different motor.
