we did that and they charged us 600$, which was 400$ more than quoted for the flush.  The receipt said "fin straightening" but that oil cooler looked the same, and since I took it off, I looked at it.  So get that straight before they go to the buffet with your credit card.

Bill, I paid $241 to POC to overhaul my oil cooler (8/2013). which included checking vernatherm. It also included some repairs. They were great to work with, fast turn around.

Thanks.

I'll take pictures of it before we send it... Thanks for the warning.

Don't forget to replace or flush the oil cooler hoses as well.

I think my bill was $190 for my cooler and vernatherm FWIW.

Ditto on flushing hoses and the hard line, and governor.

I installed a PCU 5000, it works great.The prop needs to be flushed also, it holds quite a bit of oil and sludge will build up in it over time. Although an A&P isn't allowed to do it, on a Hartzell its just a matter of screwing the dome off and replacing the O-rings when reassembling.

Also if your needing new oil cooler lines consider the Lasar oil cooler relocation kit.  It comes with new lines and gets the lines away from the exhaust.
