Does the engine need to be removed to change the seals?
Any and all thoughts are appreciated! |

Come on people . . . I would almost agree with you IF it were only the oil cooler seals leaking. Personally, I’ve never seen an engine with only the oil cooler leaking and everything else in great shape. There are so many other things that can be easily done when the engine is out
This need not turn into Dirk Wright syndrome. But having the engine out is a good time to put eyes on things that would rarely been so easily seen and accessed. I do agree with you. If the front main or rear main seal is leaking, clutch needs replaced, etc., etc. But that wasn't the poster's question. The question was whether to pull the motor to replace leaking oil cooler seals. The answer to that question is no, it's a waste of time and effort. |
