Hey your right here in Pgh. Any way remove the center pipe that goes up thru the oil cooled. This way yuo can slide out the o-ring and will not have to disconnect the cooling lines. If I had a garage I'd invite you over, but my drive way is just as cold as where you are.

Any angles or experience with this would be really really helpful. I'm guessing this is connected to the cold, and I had been running 20w50 oil, but would love to hear any ideas. > > -Matt Sutton > 88 GL > |
