You can flush the cooler yourself and (if you're interested), collect

any
metal flakes. You could do it in your kitchen sink, with a white towel

over
the drain to catch any debris. Flush it several times in each direction

and
see what comes out other than a bit of oil. After that, clean the sink
really well and throw away the towel, or you'll be subject to the wrath

of
She Who Must Be Obeyed...


Flush it with what, water? Best to use a solvent to free up those

buggers.
I know they sell a can that is used to flush transmission coolers; I had

to
use one at OSH, when my transmission in my equipment van packed it in. If
not something like that, gas or kerosene, but at any rate, not water, and
not in a kitchen sink.

Dag-nabbit, you're right. Not sure what I was thinking.
