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. -- Justin C-ya@tmgbbs.com http://tmgbbs.com/cya '95 CBR9 FeRRari red (now) w/ '93 bodywork '71 VW Squareback ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
