You might want to ask your builder if you should replace your oil cooler. Even though I didn't have chunks of hard metal in the oil, I went ahead and replaced mine. Let me know if you decide to replace yours and I'll dig up the part number. Also, if you don't want to spend almost three hours installing the cooler like I did, let me know and I'll walk you through that because there is a sequence to removing/installing the oil cooler. |
Builder thought this was a good idea too. Send me that part number (exactly the kind of thing I like Partskeeper for  ). Would love the tips on installation sequence too. I'll do it now while the engine's out.

You ought to just post it here so that anybody that does a search can find it. I get "thank you" notes from guys that stumble on my posts from ten years ago. I'll tell you, nothing is more irritating than finding a thread that has your exact problem, and then you read that the solution was PM'd to the guy. We have one guy on this forum that's famous for posting responses with "PM sent." Jeez, just post the damn answer.  |

Ya, sure you do. I "know" another guy who claims he gets thank you's too, even though the people supposedly thanking him completely deny it.  |

Actually, those people deny even talking to him in the first place...
