Hello out there!
I am quite alone here in Norway with a Pitts S2a. I have a question if any
one knows of corrosionproblems on the oil coolers. This plane has been
standing for 10 years before finally its flying again. Any comments if they
are safe to use further on or should they be changed with new once?

While I am not an A&P, if the exterior shows no damage or corrosion, you are pro bably OK. A good ground run and subsequent external inspection would show any leaks.
Alternatively, remove it and take it into a radiator shop and have them clean it for you, they may also be able to pressure test it.

Hvard,
Don’t know if you’ve made any progress, but you should be wary of any corrosion indications. Two A&P’s on our field changed out the engine in a Decathlon due to internal corrosion. They estimated it was within three flight hours of failing when they took it out of service. This particular airplane was located in a humid, salty environment (coastal town in Northwest Florida), and was only flown 10 hours in the last 18 months. Lack of use is a sure way to internally corrode an engine.
If your engine has an oil filter, cut it open, collect the filter element, place it in a plastic container, and then rinse it in a bath of 100LL. Use your fingers to extract as much “gunk” out of the element as possible. Carefully drain off the 100LL until there is remaining soot in the bottom of the container – kind of like panning for gold. >From there, place a magnet on the external part of the container and “pull” the soot up the side of the container. You should see very little metal on the inside of the container in response to the magnet. “Very little” is hard to quantify or visualize if you’ve never seen this before, and difficult to describe in words. Imagine a good “pinch” of pepper added to a recipe in cooking; if there’s a good “pinch” of metal in response to the magnet, be suspicious. If not, then follow Dave’s guidance and have the cooler inspected and cleaned by a radiator shop.
Best regards,
Gregg C
