In the process of building a type 4 engine and was wondering about the oil cooler. So should i use the one from the engine i have in the van at the moment which is good & give it a clean out and reuse it, or fit a new after market one? Bit of a quandary, have heard stories about the aftermarket ones from the far east blowing out under pressure. Not coping with the 75psi oil pressure on a cold engine. Thoughts please.
Get some decent carbon and grease remover and soak it in it, Then steam clean out and dry thoroughly. The new ones need hitting with a hammer to fit.
