oil cooler io550g crack

[skyking1]

Just sent my oil cooler with a crack to pacific oil cooler. Anyone have oil cooler problems? Just over 1100 hrs  on an eagle

So far that is the only part that hasn't cracked -- you must have a good plane.

According to Joe Frisolone, East Coast Aviation, who writes some very nice and specific pre-buy Mooney information ariticles, the oil cooler crack is common place for the Ovation, and probably the Eagle as well.  He does advise the oil cooler crack as one of the inspection points for the pre-buy.  I used his list during my pre-buy and it was most helpful.

Here is the link to his Joe's article.

Skyking1 just flies so fast anything airframe part that cracks is welded by friction heat!  --jb
