Pete,When you come across engines that have destructed do you toss the oil coolers or just flush and clean them before installing a repaired engine? I have a V11 sport where the debris in the pan was just like the posted picture and I attempted to clean the cooler and no matter how many times, more debris kept coming out. I got a replacement cooler.Does any of that debris ever make it into the crankcase breather system?
Back in the day, I built some high performance Merican V8s. Prepped and painted the block, etc. with Glyptal (sp?) It was supposed to help get oil back to the pan quickly for cooling. <shrug> Maybe that was what they were thinking with the Lario? The other small blocks had tits cast into the rocker covers so oil would condense and drip on the valve train. Dunno.
