Rickert New Member 1 Member For: 10y 3m Posted 06/02/15 07:12 AM Share Posted 06/02/15 07:12 AM Hey, I am wondering if anyone knows the likelyhood of the broken fins reaching my engine and what kind of damage it would cause if any, I have only found 4 of 6 fins in my intercooler and the oil seems to be very metalicy. Thank you in advance for any suggestions on cleaning or precautions I should be taking.

Just make sure you dry it out, empty with water and pump a hair dryer through it. Some workshops provide I/C flushing services.Youll have known by now if any smaller metallic parts have made it through.
