When I rebuilt my engine a few months ago, I initially put the
washers/spacers in - Wilson said so.  Guess what?  Oil was leaking from
under the cooler.  With the engine in the car, I pulled the tin, and
managed the get the spacers out and everything buttoned back up in about
1 hour, working outside with a light about 9 at night.  Guess what
then?  No oil was leaking from under the cooler.  I got a generic gasket
set which had 3 different sets of oil cooler grommets.  I used the green
ones - the biggest ones.
