You might stuff an oily rag into the oil cooler before reworking the fitting.

You could pour some gas or what ever in the top hole and let it flush out the bottom, that would take the metal debris out.
I have used gasoline to wash out the old oil from one`s I got at PNP. Good job. Charlie

I keep chipping away at all the little stuff that needs to get done before dropping the engine into the car in anticipation of the first start. Today's project was to take care of the oil cooler lines. Since I've eliminated the A/C compressor and bracket, the oil cooler lines are just hanging out in thin air. So I needed to fab up a temporary bracket to support the lines until I get to phase II of the project which will include fabbing an A/C mount with oil line support brackets.
Here's the bracket And here it is installed. That should be more than enough support. When I got the 300SD oil filter housing and cooler lines, I neglected to get the center bracket falsely assuming that they were the same as the 300D. So I got that yesterday at the JY and installed it and a 3/8" spacer welded to the bracket to account for some bending that occurred in getting them out. I'm now ready to get the AN fittings brazed on to complete that part of the project (they're just mocked up on the lines in the picture).

Roncollo, are you the fellow who was doing the v12 swap into a 107? I thought of that thread whilst looking at this one more than once.

Yes that was me. At the time I had got it on the road gas was going for $5.00 per gallon. I also considered a diesel 107 conversion with a new blue tech diesel.

There will be a video, but I can already guarantee that it won't be a "Big Smokey"... at least not the kind produced by tires!

This diesel swap Mach 4 is doing is more like something I might consider but way over my skill level to undertake.

I'm temporarily done with conversion stuff, so posts are a bit slow. Just working my way through the list of standard stuff needed to get any engine/transmission ready to go back in a vehicle. Boring stuff like installing the torque convertor, getting all the lines sealed up, installing the driveshaft, installing the oil filter housing gasket, and so forth. I did get the oil cooler line fittings brazed, so that's done. Did have one bit of excitement and that was when the transmission rolled off the transmission jack while I was installing the torque convertor. It's ok, but I did bend the dipstick tube, so a replacement one is in order.
I've been reading about all the rust issues that members on the forum have with their Mercedes and I was feeling kind of left out, but I finally found some...

If the clearance is still and issues when the time comes I could probably help you source one if you're still interested.
