You might want to ask your builder if you should replace your oil cooler. Even though I didn't have chunks of hard metal in the oil, I went ahead and replaced mine. Let me know if you decide to replace yours and I'll dig up the part number. Also, if you don't want to spend almost three hours installing the cooler like I did, let me know and I'll walk you through that because there is a sequence to removing/installing the oil cooler.
Builder thought this was a good idea too. Send me that part number (exactly the kind of thing I like Partskeeper for ). Would love the tips on installation sequence too. I'll do it now while the engine's out.
