Oil cooler fin straightening

Ok, in a tread there was a company ( i think used to or does aircraft work) that straightens and cleans oil coolers.

anyone know what company that was?

Just do a search for "radiator paint" in Google. You'll find plenty of hits.

Or use 2 small flat head screwdrivers. That can take forever though.

American Cooler Service, Inc pressure tests after the job plus you get a sticker that certifies your cooler as "FAA Approved".

Now how cool is that?
