PO says the oil leak is due to the oil cooler seals and that they need replacing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Maybe the nuts just need to be snugged down a tad more, I dunno. Anyway, can I easily get to the oil cooler with the engine in the car? Looks like some engine tin needs to be removed but... Suggestions or previous experience out there? I'm really not in the mood to drop the engine and tranny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

QUOTE(Air_Cooled_Nut @ Sep 3 2003, 11:42 PM) Having owned and maintained my Squareback since 1985 I'm pretty aware of air-cooled necessities (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (snip) Crap. Oil started dripping from the heat exchangers, cooling tin and filter. Crap. We know what this means, right? Yep...gotta drop the engine. Crap. Are you talking about dropping the engine to do the pushrod tube seals? I have good news for you. TypeIV's don't have sandwiched pushrod tubes like bugs. Just pull the rocker assemblies off and pull the tubes out through the top of the heads with the engine in the car. No need to pull the heads. You can do it in a Saturday morning and be back on the road by noon. -Ben M. |
