I ordered the kit direct for a ford main dealer in the US it has 4 small/narrower rings No 1C3Z-6K649-BA and 2 large rings 1C3Z-6C610-BA Which are green. dispatched from the factory 30/1/15
My local Ford dealer lists no kit. Only as individual part numbers.
I have two kits coming in tomorrow from O'Reillys. 3 Victor seals and 6 orings. I was told the kit is probably for both a IDI and PS. I'm going to compare all the gaskets and rings tomorrow morning.
It may not be a kit. but the drawing the main dealer sent distinctly showed 6 rings . I have fitted all 6 as I measured the land on the end of the cooler and the depth into the end caps and there was definitely enough room to fit both the narrow rings on each end .its resting in the press at the moment as its 1/16 inch to long to get the bolts to line up hopefully by the morning it will have surrendered and stop trying to pop back out . If this dont cure it I will be popping the motor out to fit a cummins 6 pot with a manual box to try and make it more economical as I'm not particularly pleased with the fuel consumption anyway .
I dont quite agree just because it only had 2 in it when I took it apart whats to say the last donkey that worked on did it right . We get loads of vehicles in our workshop that somebody's mate down the pub has had a go at and assembled it wrong or backwards . I put 2 rings in the water side of the end caps and measured the gap and there was definitely room for them . and on inspection of were the original ring seated in the aluminium of the end cap were the water was it was very corroded. but further out were it was running in the oil the surface was nice and clean My theory is that one ring might end up seating on the crap bit and not seal . But in putting in two rings one would act as a spacer forcing the other to seat on the nice surface . Its a theory lets hope it F@#ING worksPut it back together just like it came apart. Don't add any o-rings. It sounds like something is not right, once it presses together it stays. I think you have something wrong in there.

If your oil cooler has the flange on it then it's the later design, the earlier ones that use 2 small o-rings go INTO the header first then the bundle goes in. If you try to put all those o-rings in on the later design then your no different then the guy at the pub assembled it wrong or backwards
Do note that the old design o-rings on the water side are smaller and I can see why you think you could get both of them in there but the proper ones for the new design is a lot thicker and takes up most of the gap. Also the 6 o-ring collers were on the early 1983-1984 blocks.
