Sorry but cleaning of parts, particularly old parts, is part of the 
process. Sounds like you need to flush the cooler. When building an engine 
it is best to make no assumptions. When I get a crank back from polishing I 
always buy some long pipe cleaners and run them through the oil passages 
before installing. Is amazing the crud I find in there.
