Oil Cooler
Posted: Sat May 23, 2009 10:22 pm
I have a factory oil cooler on my '89 Isuzu 2.8 TD
The pipes that feed it are steel and run behind the block and one has holes in it
There is very little room between the fire wall and the block ... so little that I can not get the bolts out that hold the pipes in place and if I managed to get them out I don't belive I could get them back in on the replacement.
So
Option one ...
Run rubber hose in place of the current sleel pipe and risk it rubbing a hole on something.
Option two ... leave it out
Oprion 3 ... Do it right ... make up a new one, Drop the gearbox to lower the back of the moter refit it.
