The Custom Fabrication department at Pacific Oil Cooler Service, Inc. was called upon to repair the air-to-air heat exchanger pictured below. From a now civilian-owned Korean-War vintage F-86, this part was constructed with a WWII-type of "tubed" core matrix assembly. This particular unit had many air leaks emanating from numerous locations within its core. Fractured air tubes and cracks in the header plates that support the air tubes at either end were the culprits. So, what do you do when it can't be repaired - and it can't be replaced, either?
