Ok, this should be easy. I have the engine sitting on a dolly, and I'm trying to figure out where I access the oil cooler seals so I can replace them while the engine's out. I know they are on the vertical side of the cooler, and probably on the inside (not outside) side of the cooler, right? Getting access under the engine is a little difficult since it's on the dolly and I currently don't have a good view up directly underneath. What do I need to remove in order to get access to those seals? Should I attack it from the top or from underneath? I started to remove the oil filter housing but the top nut is pretty well hidden too...

Yup, remove fan, fan housing, alternator.
Oil cooled is right in front of you at that point.i would also suggest you replace the motor mounts while there, they are easier to get to at that point and they are 40 years old. You need to paint the fan housing anyways, it will look like crap with new shiny tin. DO NOT take apart the fan and paint it, it's balanced. Do download the degree marking stencil from pelican parts and add those marks to your fan while its out, it's nice to have them easy to see. Rich |
