No question about it...just spend a few extra bucks and upgrade it. No point in spending that much money on a OEM part.

Id opt for an aftermarket one as well, setrab or something the rather, the cooler itself will cost no more that 150$ and you can go to a hydraulic line place to get some made, easily less than a 200$ build.

Or you can get some gasoline/kerosene/parts cleaner and run it through one end and blow it out with high pressure compressed air and do the same to the other feed hole, works like a charm actually. I actually did that a few times to ensure no chips present and then dipped it in parts cleaner overnight and sprayed out again next day.

This is the exact reason we now offer our core which is not just superior to the stock core but also uses a higher quality and larger core then the Greddy uses.



You can order it here: http://www.amsperformance.com/store/...oducts_id=2022

hope that helps you out

you can have your oil cooler cleaned at certified aircraft shops for around ~200. they will ultra-sonically clean it and FAA certify it. that is the only way to really clean an oil cooler. otherwise buy a new one

you have many choices...many companies sell them such as: ams, hks, blitz, find a used one that came a a clean motor, or custom one....and if you are not doing road racing or any racing of that type and just daily and drag you do not need one.

yeah, if you're rebuilding any major parts like oil cooler, intercooler, cooling system (hoses and radiator), head gaskets, cams, heads, pistons, etc. you get the idea, AFTERMARKET is way cheaper than OEM, better reliability too if installed correctly. . .I'd go with Greddy or AMS. . .

You can probably find a similarly sized Setrab, build some brackets (if needed) and get some adapter fittings for way less than that.
