Clean

TOC

Clean the gasket material from the cooler support and the cylinder block.

After removing the gasket material, clean with solvent and dry with compressed air.

NOTE: Do

not
allow dirt or gasket material to fall into the oil passages.

Pressure Test

TOC

 CAUTION 

Do not reuse an oil cooler core after an engine failure since there is not a practical method to clean the cooler core. Metal particles which can circulate through the lubricating system can remain in the cooler core and can cause engine damage. Do not allow dirt or gasket material to enter the oil passages when cleaning the oil cooler and the cylinder block surface.
 
SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Install and clamp a short section of hose over either the inlet or outlet transfer tube of the oil cooler. Install a plug into the

opposite
end of the section of hose and install the clamp.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Attach a regulated air pressure hose to the other water transfer tube and apply air pressure.

Submerge the oil cooler into a tank of water heated to 82°C [180°F] for 3 to 5 minutes and inspect for leaks.

NOTE: If leaks are found, replace the oil cooler core.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


 WARNING 

Wear appropriate eye and face protection when using compressed air. Flying debris and dirt can cause personal injury.

Remove the oil cooler core from the water tank.

Remove the hoses and the clamps from the oil cooler.

Use lubricating oil to flush the oil side of the cooler to remove all the water.

Dry the oil cooler with compressed air.

Install

TOC

Lubricate new o-rings with vegetable oil and install onto the oil cooler core transfer tubes.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Install the connection retainer and o-rings adapters with new o-rings. Do

not tighten the four retainer capscrews at this time. Adapters must
be loose so they will align with the transfer tubes.

NOTE: Make sure to keep o-rings in place when installing the adapters and retainer.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Install the oil cooler core onto the oil cooler transfer connection (housing) by inserting the transfer tubes into the o-ring adapters.

NOTE: Make sure the o-ring adapters move freely when the transfer tubes are inserted as this will allow tubes to be centered in the adapters.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Install the oil cooler core mounting gaskets and holddown capscrews.

Tighten the holddown capscrews.

Torque Value:  27  n.m  [20 ft-lb]

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Alternately tighten the connection retainer capscrews.

Torque Value:  47  n.m  [35 ft-lb]

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Install two guide studs into the oil cooler support mounting holes in the cylinder block.

Install a new oil cooler support gasket over the guide studs with the side marked “Cooler Side” facing outward or visible.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


For those engine applications utilizing the low mount oil cooler arrangement, follow the same installation procedure.

 
SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Install the oil cooler assembly over the guide studs, and push it against the cylinder block.

Install the oil cooler support bracket capscrew. Do

not
tighten at this time.

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


Install four of the support mounting capscrew, and remove the two guide studs.

Install the two remaining capscrews, and tighten all support capscrews.

Torque Value:  47  n.m  [35 ft-lb]

SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE
   


First, loosen the two capscrews which hold the oil cooler support bracket to the rear of the oil cooler housing.

Then, alternately and evenly, tighten the block mounting capscrew and the oil cooler housing capscrews beginning with the block mounting capscrew.
