Project Saburai

[My 90 oil burner]

That is why I am happy to be apart of this group. Being my first diesel I have learned alot and being no spring chicken I am taking my time to rebuild " Shelly" for my son to drive and hopefully not mutilate
Wes I am trying to come down for the oil cooler either this weekend or next week sometime sir.

You guys are sooooo lucky to have stuff like that to work with. Any "northerner" doubting the value in going south for a truck, take a look at this 24 year old example!

Actually, I went North.



And a bit West, Colorado!

they wanted a reson for an extra port for the coolant filter

I found the peel and seal on a hot rod forum. It's kind of thin, but sticky as all get-out and conforms quite well. I used two and three layers in the hot Zones near the turbo and the downpipe I also did the inside of the tranny tunnel. For the money the stuff is excellent!

I've heard a lot about it inside the vehicle but always wondered how it would hold up under the hood.
