[Fot] Oil Cooler cleaning

[Mike Mehl]

You all confirmed my thoughts.  I will add it to the other one on the shelf
and 
hope I don't expand my collection.  I will order another one.  I took
apart my 
accusump and cleaned it and will puck the hoses.  We have a system
to shoot a 
puck (like an ear plug) through hoses to clean them after
assembly.  


I did like one comment that suggested donating it to the MG
club.

Thanks all. 

Mike Mehl

Compare the price of a new oil cooler
with the price of a new 
motor.  I'd have to ask myself if I'm willing to take
a chance to 
save a hundred or two $.

Seems a shame to throw away a new
cooler, but they are virtually 
impossible to get completely clean,
unfortunately.
