[QUOTE="brownsvo, post: 16573385, member: 152050"] So I installed the long-tubes and figured I would fix the p/s and oil leaks while the k-member is out. I took out the oil cooler assembly and replaced all of the o-rings..now my cooler appears to be on its last legs. with the new o-rings in I was getting coolant seeping out of the inner cylinder and dripping at the bottom of the cooler during my engine run. the surfaces that mate on the cylinder to the oil cooler walls are pitted pretty bad. On the first go I used minimal RTV to hold the o-rings in place. 2nd go around I RTV-d the **** out of it hoping to fill in those pits. My main concern is A. coolant mixing with oil and destroying the engine.

Is there a reliable oil cooler i can replace this setup with that isn't crazy expensive? [/QUOTE]
