DwayneGorniak Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I use vaseline and yes they go together tight. I put them in the press to press them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Clayton Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Seen a guy at my old shop put 'em together by standing the cooler assy upright and lowering the lift down on it to cinch her together, plus alot of vaseline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Bruene Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I find a hoist alone won't do it. There needs to be a car on the hoist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellyf Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 Thanks for the suggestions.Pulled the thing apart and found the blue oil ring torn.Inspected housing and found that housing was warped when checked with straight edge.I guess that's what happens when you use junkyard parts.I cleaned the oil cooler tube very well and lubricated with vaseline,which worked well.Re-installed and seems ok.Thanks again.
