Subject: Re: Disaster - Engine seized. by Durango_Boy on 2012/12/6 3:37:28 I removed the oil cooler simply because the fan was never on, and the temps...as monitored by the engine temp gauge, never got to an alarming temp. The plan originally was to use it to see if I needed it, and if not it would be removed. That was part of the thought process behind not going full on hard line and fittings. Costs would have been 4 - 5 times what I spent. Granted, I spent WAY more on this last rebuild, but that really had nothing to do with the way I put it together and everything to do with a lazy shop tech who zipped off my barbs because he was having trouble getting the rubber lines over them. Lazy bastard cost me quite a bit of trouble. I did use it as an opportunity to change a few things. It's not back in yet because I started planning a rather special EFI endeavor that won't be ready or complete for a while and I left the engine out so I could do things that would be easier with the engine bay open and free. |
