Subject:Oil Cooler Coolant hoses
From:Hans Brouwer
Date:Sun, 12 Aug 2001 22:46:01 -0400

Hi,

I need help on finding a listees web site that describes the details of
installing a single coolant hose from the oil cooler to the thermostat
housing.

I have to replace the 3-4" coolant hose that attaches to the oil cooler
due to a pin needle hole. I confess my fault I pinched it. What was I
doing? I want to replace the oil cooler seal. I can not get the oil
cooler off with the hoses attached.

Instead of replacing the 3-4" hose, which attaches to a metal pipe and
goes over top of the engine where it changes again to a small piece of
coolant hose and finally attached to the thermostat housing, replace it
with one long coolant hose from the oil cooler to the thermostat
housing.
