7.4 GI oil cooler

[Shovelstuff]

95' 252 w/Volvo Penta 7.4L GI oil cooler failure. Are there any other options beyond buying a replacement? Repair? Or possibly a cheaper replacement option? New OEM is aroun$500. Aftermarket ranges from $350-500. Does it look like it has been repaired before? Pics for clarity

Me personally, I'd pay the extra $150 for Volvo Penta.
Good luck.

I know that these can be repaired and re cored but don’t know how much that would cost I had mine done many years ago. I agree it’s worth it to purchase OEM it’s worth the cost just for piece of mind.
