Re: [T3] oil cooler seal leak


The upper portion of the cooling tin must be removed to get at the cooler.
This may intail: carb or injection manifold removal, generator removal and
various screws that hold the tin on. The cooler itself is retained by two
floating bolts with nuts and a stud out of the case, all 10mm. Hopefully you
have the spacer washers that prevent you form overtighting the fastners. If
not use care not to over torque the nuts. I think the spacers are about
3-4mm tall, anyone know for sure?? It is also known that people in the past
have tightened the bolts down all the way with no spacers and or problems.
