Hey guys,
So like an idiot I washed my factory oil cooler with water and detergent and now when I shake it hard i can hear liquid(?) sloshing around in there i think...
Now I'm not sure if you are meant to be able to hear anything when you shake it about. Are you?
I blew through the coolant fittings/tubes and got nothing but air.
Unfortunately I didn't shake it before I washed it so I don't know what it sounded like before.

Anyways.. So i was like, whatever Ill just buy another one... until I find out they are $300! OMGZ! I pooed myself!


So yes yes, I know a motor is much pricier and I shouldn't risk it, but is there anyway I can get this p.o.s cleaned out.

Thanks!

 

You could buy mine if you cant fix your unit.

 

Have you tried using compressed air?

 

So Ive let it sit in degreaser for 8 hours, blown it out with compressed air, ultrasonic cleaned it, and I can still hear **** when I shake it around...... wtf

 

Did you disassemble it or just dropped the whole thing in?

 

Its a welded piece, how do I disassemble it? I just dropped the whole thing in
Its the one as pictured here

I'm thinking oil pump

 

Alright I'm going to boil this mother in detergent and then oven it at 140 until it's dry and call it done. If anyone else comes across this thread and has better luck please add on to it
