I have a pretty decent oil leak coming from or around the oil cooler. I have a new oil cooler with new seals but I think i should replace the oil pressure switch while I am at it. where is the switch located? any tips for replacing the oil cooler?-thanks

Be careful and hand thread in the new one first before putting a wrench to it. it is a pipe taper and shouldn't take a lot of torque to seal.
The engine on my current project arrived with the oil pressure sensor pre-stripped and leaking heavily and will need to be re-tapped. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Oh the things that were done by previous owners! |
