hi guys,
I dropped my motor to do some preventative maintenance, and have been cleaning 32 years of oil from the motor and tranny...I found the oil pressure sensor to be leaking and ordered a new one...there was a good bit of oil under the motor, I dont know if the oil was from the oil pressure sensor, or from the oil cooler...there was some oil residue from the bottom corner of the cooler near the jug. Is ther any way to test the oil cooler...thinking about putting oil cooler seals in as a minimum...thanks Joe (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif) |

Atleast put new oil cooler seals in! Yes, you can take the oil cooler in to have it tested and cleaned or install a new one if its really junked up from old oil varnish. It can't do the job right if its crappy inside.
I havent had too much luck trying to clean it myself as I want it spotlessly clean. Geoff (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) |
