Premature Bearing Failure On Rebuilt Engines Equipped With Oil Coolers
Replacing the Cooler Core
If there is a metal failure of any kind on engines equipped with oil coolers, it is imperative that the cooler core be replaced when the engine is rebuilt or repaired. Due to the construction of the core, it is not possible to adequately clean an oil cooler core when metal particles are trapped within. Failure to replace the cooler core will result in premature engine failure as the metal particles will be released into the oil, thus contaminating the entire engine.
To avoid comebacks and liability, inform your customers that the oil cooler core must be replaced under the conditions explained.
