oil cooler and crappy ford parts

[st6psycho]

early 99 oil cooler leaking... got it off.. didnt have to lift engine i donno y everyone says that u have too... any tips im doing just fine and im deff not new to fixing things. just replaced a clutch master and slave cylinder that was a yr old it was a ford factory part anyone else have problem with ford parts lol

 

[st6psycho]

....about your oil cooler ....take the extra 2 minutes and unbolt the front header from the front timing cover--2 bolts.

Then after installing the new seal rings, it's easier to push back together and install as a unit.

That neck on the timing cover is not fond of the pressure when you push the cooler bundle back in.....

I had a timing cover go from bad to worse and that is a "remove enging job"

a wheel lift wrecker makes putting the cooler bundle back together again real easy.lube the orings with some oil or a little vasaline to make it easier to get the ends back on over the orings without tearing them.and before you bash ford parts 98% of the parts on your engine are international parts repackaged in a ford box along with twice the price of international.

ya so i didnt have 2 jack the engine to get the unit back in.. i used all 6 new seals i dont no if i pinched one of the inside seals but now oil is getting in the coolant and coolant in the oil..?? sucks bc now i have to flush coolant and oil and then do a low milage change to flush the oil system out.... any ideas lol i havent got it back apart yet it doesn take that long its just this fix just doubled in cost lol

you tore an oring or the rubbery parts on the mounting gasket or cracked the housings.

 

[st6psycho]

see u have a 95... the 99 -03 use stamped aluminum manifold gaskets and rubber o rings... nothing to tear 92-97 run a paper style manifold gasket...

 

[94f450sd]

the 6.9 and 7.3 IDI up to 94.5 ran a paper gasket.94.5-97 runs the same gaskets and orings as the 99-03.you tore an oring or the rubbery parts on the mouting gasket

 

[st6psycho]

they have diff part #s and ther is one less bolt on the oil cooler bolting it to the block on the 99 verse earlier stuff

 

[94f450sd]

the motor is the same from 94.5-03 a few few slight casting changes to the block but nothing that will make it not fit in a 94.5-97.
