Well he should start saving for either a Setrab one, or a new engine.
I've had several Mocal coolers fail on the dyno, in various ways.
Some fail under the fittings where they (aren't) welded to the cooler, and I've also had them fail in the middle of the core. When I rang them they wouldn't deny that they were now made in China, and instead just said that they 'pressure test them', but clearly they do that cold because hot oil just pushes the paint off when it is weakened by the heat and they spew oil out.
Fortunately, in a way, you can see it happen on the dyno so you can kill the motor before it's knackered (or on fire) but you don't have that luxury when you're driving it.
They are now utter, utter shit.
