Resigned to pulling the motor to find and fix oil leaks. Ordered the Tangerine plate and it really doesn’t look too bad. Heck, we were halfway there just doing clean up.
In looking at a manual we have, it mentions a washer between the oil cooler and the block. I don’t see this on the parts diagram, and when we did the seals I didn’t see one up there. So-washer or no washer on the studs behind the oil cooler??? Also-once we get the motor out, can we just set it on milk crates or build a simple stand? Don’t really want to invest in an engine stand. Merry Christmas and TIA Rob |

I ran into the washer discrepancy after my first rebuild in 1992. First engine install I put the washers between the cooler and the engine case, which kind of seems logical to keep from over squishing the cooler seals, but after installing the engine and starting it, and it peeing oil, and trying again, I found the oil leak went away after I put the thick washers under the oil cooler mounting nuts. The Haynes manual describes this incorrectly
