How to clean and test oil cooler
Hey guys,
What is the best was to clean and test a 35 year old oil cooler? Brian www.9magazine.com '73 1.7 Last edited by 9magazine; 02-18-2009 at 07:18 PM.. |

High-pressure solvent would probably be the best way. You'll need an adaptor plate--you may be able to use an oil-cooler block off plate for that. High-pressure air can find the leaks in a safer way than spraying solvent out any leaks, but it won't clean very well. Solvent will. Push it both "forward", the way the oil normally goes through, and "backward", the other way.
A soak in solvent and some brushes and pipe cleaners can help clean the outside of the cooler. --DD
