Does the engine need to come out to put new seals in the oil cooler? I thought I heard somewhere it can be done without removing the engine. If not, the engine in Joes red one will be coming out.

QUOTE(tod914 @ Oct 31 2004, 09:39 AM) Guess it would probally be a good idea to have a new cooler pressure tested before install after ready your post Clay. Didn't realize you can get the cooler out with the motor still in. Cool deal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) I did a cooler in a bus... once, a real PITA. You my be able to drop the front of the engine enough to get the fan, etc. off. Of course you would have to get the linkage, cables, etc. out of the way. Pressure testing is a good idea as I've seen coolers that are cracked or warpped from being over torqued. The cooler, base and seals should be clean, no oil, grease or sealant. I sometimes put a dab of silicone, on the very top edge of the seal, to hold them till the cooler goes on. |
