Replaced Oil Cooler

Image
Replaced the Oil Cooler. Also once the motor was pulled it made it a little clearer that I needed to replace and clean a few other items. - Intake Manifold Hole - Rusted exhaust and Heater boxes

Oil Cooler Leak Confirmed.

Yes, it was an Oil Leak and it was from the Oil Cooler, so I decided to replace the Oil Cooler (Probably didn't need to replace the whole cooler but figured its in expensive and should do it). Which would involve pulling the doghouse off the engine. Rather than wrangle around in the tight engine compartment, I decided I needed to do a few other things that were important. (NOTICE in the photo that one seal is CLEAN the other is DIRTY, good indication of where the oil was leaking) 1. Replace the Oil Cooler and Seals 2. Replace the Rear Main Seal. 3. Replace the Intake manifold (current one has a Hole in it) 4. Check the Clutch, pressure plate and thrust bearing. 5. Check the End Play 6. Change out the Transmission mounts So a few things that need to be done....or more to the point seen, since I had'nt seen them myself. Good to know what everything looks like in the engine.
