Time to switch oil coolers

So, I changed the O rings in the 83. Seems to leak more!!!!

Gotta say, I was getting pretty frustrated w/ rex until I figured out the mech secondaries. It's like a new freakin car.

Now its time to switch oil coolers.

Don't suppose anyone has an air-oil cooler????

I've got a good spare FC oil cooler and hoses if you're interested. PM me.

I'm gonna put in new Orings next week, and I figure to lube them with silicone lube 'cause they're neoprene(not sealer!) so they can wiggle around a little and get comfy.

Are the leaks coming from where the O rings went? Maybe you didnt get the seated well? I know I had to do mine about 12 times cause I was putting in the oil block also, so I had two sets of two to try and line up rather than just one set of two, or one set of four.
