Has anybody here tried to replace your oil cooler seals with the engine installed in the vehicle (a la pelican article)? The article is a little vague and I think I loosened the wrong bolt and now I may have to drop the engine just to tighten it again! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) I loosened a 17mm bolt next to the oil filter and now it just spins. I think there is a nut behind it that I can't get to. Does anybody have a picture indicating the correct bolts (or nuts) to remove?

This is great.. I laugh my ASS OFF when people walk into the shop with the Pelican tech articles.. asking me questions.
Did you ever stop to think that those tech articles are written by HOME USERS that may or may not know what the hell they are talking about ?? 99% of those articles are missing 20% (if not more) of what you need to know to actually do the jobs completely. I applaud the effort, but unless you post articles that have been gone over by someone who knows what they are doing... you stand a chance of leading people down the wrong (sometimes dangerous) path. Rant over. I really cant say much until we have our own PRO written articles in place. B |
