I was told in my old home bodge tuning days (cars as bikes were too dear when I was a poor student) that after an engine blow up you should trash the oil cooler as theres no way you could flush out all the debris and it would come back to haunt you later. now that isnt a cheap way to get u back on the road and 2nd hand oil coolers need to be treat with caution too unless u can verify the history. Suspect this is not what you want to hear. But an oil cooler shoul dbe cheaper than a new set of crank and conrod bearings (or trashed crank/cams if debris blocks an oil way) [Edited on 17-5-2006 by IainMac] |
