Default flush a oil/power steering cooler??

We trashed a motor, and had some stuff in the bottom of a pan..just worried that it made it way through the oil cooler. I dont wanna speed 400 on a new cooler..is there anyway you can flush out a cooler?

Toss it not worth the chance. $400.00 is a drop in the bucket compared to a second rebuild because of crap in the cooler. IMO

I spun a bearning and learned the hard way

I tossed the hoses to... Also I cut open the old oil cooler, there is no way to flush them.
