oil cooler and braided lines cleaning?

Postby TRD_ZERO » Sun Nov 01, 2009 8:59 pm

Ive got my old oil cooler and braided lines that i would like cleaned before i put it back on my new engine. Any ideas or suggestions on how i go about cleaning it ? Keeping in mind i want to minimise the leftover residue so that it doesnt contaminate the oil ofcourse.

hose doctors have special foam wads / pellets that they can fire thru the hoses to clean them,

i generally use dynamo washing liquid in hot water from a garden pressure sprayer to do the radiators on my quad, works a treat.
