Hi Mike
Yes, By all means get a new oil cooler if it is Reg. size and available. I
have in the Past had Dry sump oil tanks and "special" Coolers/thermostats
cleaned by "Lanfried Ultra sonic cleaning service' Carson, Ca. The FAA approve
these guys to clean coolers Etc. IT's been a while since I have used them, So
I don't know the current costs.
best of Luck
Tony
