Do you like your engine? Do not use used oil lines or coolers unless they have been flushed out, cleaned and certified. If you are going to try to save money by buying used on Ebay, then take the stuff to an aircraft shop afterwards and get it cleaned.
Many times the used stuff is being sold because an engine shelled itself. If they do not want to use the stuff why should you?
Just my 2c worth but I have known some CRASHCAR racers and know how they work.
