My new setup for spring.

I wouldn't even try to re-use/clean an oil cooler from a motor that put any shavings into the oil. It can be an expensive part of a new motor build to get a new oil cooler from Mitsu or build an aftermarket setup, unless you are lucky to find a used one that you are 100% sure came from a clean running motor.

Excactly why I bought a used one from a good motor, I didnt want to spend 600 from the dealership and I needed one asap so I found someone local that is switching to an aftermarket one. This engine was way to expensive to take the chance on an oil cooler that I cleaned out.

Smart move not re-using it. Re-using a spun bearing victim oil cooler is a great way to burn some money without actually setting it on fire.
