I like to ideas on what the heck is going on.
Doing a 1974 914 restoration. Stripped completely down to just the chassis, painted etc..... Ran great prior to start but had an oil lead that dripped down from the oil pump pressure relief valve screw. Assume it was the oil radiator. While engine was out, I replaced seals that mate the oil radiator to motor, making sure new seals were siliconed in place so they could not move during re-installation. Welded a nut to the oil pressure relief valve screw so I could really tighten it good (with new seal). Thought I fixed the oil leak. Installed engine, hooked up, started up. Still leaks oil staight down to Oil Pressure Relief Valve. Assume it can only be the stupid oil radiator again. What else could it be? Leaks good when engine running. Any ideas? thanks |

Stu, it's not all that easy. One of the jobs I dread. One of the console bolts cannot be removed without pulling the oil cooler forward.
Orbit, the oil cooler seals should only be coated with oil. Dried silicone will act as a deformity in the seal and it will leak. Others here will agree when I say "NO" silicone. The late Capn would not be so nice about it. |

Just a couple of weeks ago I removed the oil cooler with the engine in the car and put it all back together but with a blockoff plate at the oil cooler. So I remember putting the filter bracket back on was easy, but thats probably because the blockoff plate is not in the way. |
