During the 1st tear down of my 100.000 mile stock 1.7 engime I filled the oil cooler with some detergent and let it sit overnight.
What came out was wery similar to a Guinnes Stout, also there was a lot of dirt sunk down to the bottom of the jar. Did a second fill and what came out the day after was more like strong coffe butno dirt in the bottom. My feel is that this may have affected the cooling significantely and to clean the inside of the oil cooler when there is a chance is a must. Is there a more effective way to clean it? /Lars S (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.lsmteknik.se-10787-1482760227.1.jpg) Dirt from the bottom of the jar: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.lsmteknik.se-10787-1482760228.2.jpg) |
