Hey all,
My O-360 s#it the bed and is off getting a major overhaul now. It left quite a few metal parts in the oil screen and throughout the engine. Not good.
Either way, I probably know the answer, but just seeking confirmation and opinions on the subject.
Given that the engine became a metal factory, I'm assuming it's the right time to send the oil cooler out for overhaul/test/flush, etc.. I'm really only asking since once the engine comes back from OH, it will continue to make metal for a number of hours while rings and other parts complete the break-in process. Is it smarter to A) flush & overhaul oil cooler now; B) not worry about it until after new engine is broken-in; or C) do it twice..once now and again after the break-in is complete.
NOTE: This engine only has an oil screen (no oil filter)
Thoughts??
thanks,
Sam Swift
