HI All:

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/engine-failure/p50891-engine-bearing-failure.html

I've had an engine bearing failure, (More on this later) and as part of repairing the damage I am not going to use the cooler in the radiator. I understand it is impossible to clean the cooler enough to be confidant that it will not release a pile of metal chips, filings bearing material crude. I've had conversations with Radiator repair outfits and they concure that the best solution would be to remove the tank and replace the cooler. (I know the oil from the cooler goes into the filter, However Part of the original cascading failure was plugging of the filter and bypass taking place)

BUT!! They do not know what cooler was in the radiator and could not confirm that they could get one. Hense we could take the Rad apart only to find it unrepairable.

The cost and problems dictates that I use an after-market engine cooler in front of the radiator.

I have no Idea what the BTU heat capacity of the cooler in the radiator is so having difficulty knowing what capacity The add-on cooler should be. I'm looking at a Hayden 1268 - 30,000BTU right now.

Anyone KNOW what I should get??

Best regards
