dealing with a engine that has oil in the water and water in the oil is no fun at all.

i had a big truck diesel blow its oil cooler, it was a all out night mare to clean up.

the thought of paying a shop to do the 15/20 some odd hours of work i did, at some out-rages $150/200 an hour rate is a sickning thought.

the other problem was dealing with the nasty hazmat mix of water and oil, it was like 30/40 gal of that JUNK
it was a mid size 10L truck engine packed full of the trash

part that really bugs me is the truck had a in frame less than 5,000 miles earlier and they did'ent change the cooler on a 300,000 truck
