<DIV>Been there, done that. Yep, tossed the cooler and bought a new one.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The braided lines, and other sundry connections, I just took to a
self-service car wash and blew the high-powered wash and rinse through
them.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Accusump, I completely disassembled (both ends) and tossed the smaller
bits into a basic parts cleaner. The big tube – and that’s all it is fully
disassembled, big enough to reach into -- I just sprayed some Brakleen in and
wiped it out.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Couple days on the bench and it all air-dried. Worked fine. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sorry, no number here on the clearance specs.</DIV>

<DIV>Some Spitfire 1300 engine re-assembly questions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>1) What to use to clean out oil lines, connections, and
accusump after having an engine disintegrate and create lots of metal particles
that may or may not have migrated throughout the oil system. I’m considering
mineral spirits as a final cleaning. They have been gravity draining for a
couple weeks hanging upside down. I also have a new oil cooler since that
was probably beyond cleaning effectively.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>2) Procedure to clean the accusump. While it is out and not pressurized.
Just rinse it with mineral spirits?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>3) Oil pump clearance specs on Spitfire (angled late 1500 version), now at
0.004” on all four lobes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks
