Is there a bullet proof bearing out there, clevites go just as well as stockers.
Flushing the oil cooler doesn't seem like good insurance if your trying too prevent another spun bearing. Hot oil flowing through it at 50+psi would probably work anything lose that was left behind when it was flushed.
