Well, I started to get a new decent size oil leak onto the left header.
Traced to crack in round edge of oil cooler, not the welds. This is the cooler from NLA Parts which is less than 3 years old. This is a stock photo, mine is not out of the car yet. Anybody had problems in this area? |

I have found Stoddards good to deal with but not sure if they would step up after 3yrs ..who knows,don't think it has been the victim of excess oil pressure as the core would have blown first,I had a stock cooler pop @ the core under normal use but it was 30+yrs old.
As mentioned it is most likely stressed @ that area,no point in just welding up the crack,thinking a run of weld all the way along would be the best solution if done by the right person ,good job for Ben . |
