re:cooler seal poll

["Michael Dixon" <mdixon@ev1.net>]

I looked through some of the responses to this thread and didn't see this
info.

The oil cooler on my 72 Square was replaced by a ?reputable mechanic a few
years ago and subsequently the engine froze.  Inspection revealed that the
seals being discussed, were installed and tightened too much to stop them
leaking.  This constricted the oil flow passages and starved the oil cooling
system.  Short story, I totally lost the engine.  Hindsight reveals that
these things are dangerous, I defer to Jim Adney and the other authorities.
I just wanted to put in my $0.02 worth and hope that no one else has to go
through my ordeal.
