## Discrepancy

(CAN) WE CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THIS TYPE OF OIL COOLER ON CONTENTIAL IO-550-N ENGINES. THE COOLERS ARE CRACKING ON THE BAFFLE FLANGE AND MORE CRITICALLY ON THE MOUNTING FLANGE. NO OIL LEAK HAD DEVELOPED YET, BUT THE MOUNTING FLANGE CRACK WAS NEAR A MAIN OIL PORT AND HAD THE POTENTIAL TO LEAK OIL, HAD THE CRACK DEVELOPED FURTHER. (TC# 20151217013)
