Oil Cooler, Oil Cooler Lines, and Oil Tank Replacement Service Information
1Fault
Not stated
2Finding the cause
Possible causes
- Debris from a damaged rod or main bearing is sent directly through the oil galleries and the components in the lubrication circuit.
3Correction
Repair
- Whenever an engine assembly is replaced for a connecting rod or crankshaft main bearing failure, also replace the oil cooler, oil cooler lines, oil tank and turbocharger, if equipped.
- If the oil cooler is part of the radiator assembly, the radiator must be replaced along with the other required components.
Caution
- Reinstalling an oil cooler or cooler line from an engine with bearing failure debris may carry remaining debris into the new service engine.
- Some service engines come with the oil cooler and/or oil cooler lines already attached; those need not be replaced.
- Not every engine with bearing damage requires the oil cooler, lines or oil tank, or even the engine, to be replaced.
