I finally got the time to make some progress on the 7 and I have a few questions.

1.I'm about to remove the engine, will the rad and oil cooler be in the way? In other words, do I need to remove them?

2.What's the best way to replace the coolant seals? Do I absolutely need to dismantle the whole engine? Using Pineapple HD's btw.

3.I'll be repairing the rust damage on my floor and frame, is there a good way to prevent rust from forming again? I've heard truck bed liner but does it work?

Thank you for your awnsers.

 

stop bumping your threads. they are forbidden in this section of the forum and make you look bad.

1. you dont need to remove the oil cooler or the radiator. you will need to unbolt the oil cooler lines though.

2. to replace the coolant seals you will need to take the block apart

3. never personally done it but ive seen truck bed liner work well and you can also get stuff at the local parts store.

 

No. Just disconnect the lines and be careful not to punch through the rad with the engine.

Only way is to rebuild the engine.

POR-15.

 

Thanks, I'll slow down on the bumps.
