I had also read that recently too, because I have been trying to keep my
new ('70) bus as cool as possible out here in Arizona. It had sat for about
2 years. Can the oil cooler get gummed up and full of crud by sitting?
Can it be flushed out without taking out the engine (although I probably should
remove it to make sure the fan is completely clear also)
