Been there, done that. Yep, tossed the cooler and bought a new one.

The braided lines, and other sundry connections, I just took to a =
self-service car wash and blew the high-powered wash and rinse through =
them.

The Accusump, I completely disassembled (both ends) and tossed the =
smaller bits into a basic parts cleaner. The big tube =96 and that=92s =
all it is fully disassembled, big enough to reach into -- I just sprayed =
some Brakleen in and wiped it out.

Couple days on the bench and it all air-dried. Worked fine.=20

Sorry, no number here on the clearance specs.

Questions

Listerati,

Some Spitfire 1300 engine re-assembly questions.

1) What to use to clean out oil lines, connections, and accusump after =
having an engine disintegrate and create lots of metal particles that =
may or may not have migrated throughout the oil system. I=92m =
considering mineral spirits as a final cleaning. They have been gravity =
draining for a couple weeks hanging upside down.  I also have a new oil =
cooler since that was probably beyond cleaning effectively.=20

2) Procedure to clean the accusump. While it is out and not pressurized. =
Just rinse it with mineral spirits?

3) Oil pump clearance specs on Spitfire (angled late 1500 version), now =
at 0.004=94 on all four lobes.

Thanks=20
