I've read some horror stories on here about people rebuilding engines and then having dirty oil coolers that just push junk back into a fresh build. So I wanted to take some time and clean this out. I flushed out the inside with some kerosene and now I'm going to wash the cooling fins with some simple green so it does the best cooling job it can.
Cleaned up the banjo bolts and got some new crush washers from Dad.
Connected things up at the oil cooler first.
Then back up top.
Mounted the IC back up while I was at too.
And here's a pulled-back shot just to give you a sense of where we're at. Really starting to look like a car again.
