				I have picked up a few good quality $ used oil coolers over the years.  Each guy said they were good and just changed out  due to new modifactions to the car.  They look perfect, but used.  I am now thinking of installing one on my car.   Question. Is it safe? Is there a way to clean them/insure nothing is bad on the inside. This would save me about 280.00 dollars if I could used it. Thanks, Ed |

				This topic came up many times when I was into Porsches.  Most people in the Porsche community recommended having them sent out to a shop that could ultrasonically clean them to remove any metal shavings that cleaning with carb cleaner or another solvent may not knock loose.
