Im still tossing this around
New cooler still holding 2-3* spreads since revere flush
My gut says keep it OEM and just relocate
If I went air to oil the thermostat would need to be a 190* minimum the BPD 180* thermostat kinda a deal breaker IDK
Last weekend was balljoints
exhaust and alternator are real close of the hit list

It sounds like you were able to clear the non-coagulating debris out of the oil cooler that loosened during the rework, so if it stays in the 3-4*F range you should be fine. The cooler can clog with two types of debris. If it's flakes or other particles, they will just be at the intake side surface and can be reverse flushed out. If it's the silicate drop out then that is what forms the gel that adheres to the hot surfaces. It doesn't sound like that's was your issue right now.
