Finally the oil cooler has been rebuilt and it needed it real bad.
Thems the gaskets you need.
You can see all the bolts to the rear header in this pic
And now they are lose. Socket sizes: Front header bolts are 9/16, rear header is 1/2. Jack the engine up and slip the cooler bundle out. If the engine is up high enough the cooler will come out with no problems except it will endlessly drip oil all over you until it is sitting on the ground and out of your hands.
I placed it in a vice and beat the headers off with a rubber mallet, and they did not want to come off.
Looks good
Ewww
The culprit, both big o-rings were very hard and brittle
This stuff worked out great. Still used the floor jack and something heavy technique to press it together, but it went really easy. The main problem is getting the big o-ring to slid in.
YAY
I was suprised by the lack of pics involving jacking up the engine. It seems straight forward, and it is, but pictures are worth a thousand words. Just be careful. The board cocked sideways the first time as the jack went up and the board slipped out. Use a Bottle jack if you have one. The your fingers under a 1000lbs of crushing force would not feel good.
