Perform the following procedure in order to inspect the engine oil cooler:
- Place a container under the oil cooler in order to collect any engine oil or coolant that drains from the oil cooler. Remove one of the oil hoses. Do not remove both of the oil hoses at the same time in order to ensure that the cooling plate (1) remains fastened to the cover plate (4).
Before the second oil hose is removed, install the two-piece flange (6) and the nuts on the studs for flange (6) without the oil hose.
- Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Cooler - Remove" for removal of the engine oil cooler.
- Thoroughly clean the flange face of the cover plate and the cylinder block.

Personal injury can result from air pressure.
Personal injury can result without following proper procedure. When using pressure air, wear a protective face shield and protective clothing.
Maximum air pressure at the nozzle must be less than
205 kPa (30 psi) for cleaning purposes. - Inspect the cooling plate (1) for cracks and dents. Replace the cooling plate if cracks or dents exist.
If necessary, clean the outside of the cooling plate and clean the inside of the cooling plate. Use a solvent that is not corrosive on copper. Ensure that no restrictions for the flow of lubricating oil exist in the cooling plate.
Dry the cooling plate with low pressure air. Flush the inside of the cooling plate with clean lubricating oil.
- Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Cooler - Install" for installation of the engine oil cooler.
- Ensure that the cooling system of the engine is filled to the correct level. Operate the engine.
Note: Refer to the Operation And Maintenance Manual for additional information.
Check for oil or coolant leakage.
