OK, during my last oil change, I was not careful enough breaking open the AN lines from the tank/engine oil cooler and while doing so I "moved" the 90 degree fiting on my engine oil cooler. It appears the AN fitting and 90degree fitting is welded and epoxyed on in some way, and i'm betting, i broke the epoxy seal somewhat. So I plan on taking the cooler out and taking it somewhere to be fixed, but what would be the proper long term fix for the oil cooler mod? All weld and no epoxy? or is some epoxy ok and nessesary to ensure no leaking? What type of local place should I start calling? Anyone thats good with aluminum?
Now sounds like a good time to also install that "T" for the oil drain out of the tank... TIA Ferg. |
