Well guys I just got in my oil cooler gasket kit. And I'm going to start working on it today but I guess I need the oil cooler alignment tool and I don't have one or the money to buy one so I don't know what I'm going to do for that =( I got the car home last night and my carnis so low that I had to remove the front valance and my rear euro valnce haha

Install the OPRV into the housing, install the bolts loosly, use the OPRV to align the housing while tightening the bolts.. it will work just like the tool does.

just make sure the OPRV can be removed and installed easily after the housing bolts are tight.. no worries!

I hate to be a stick in the mud; however, when the "milkshake" occurs it's a good idea to replace your rod bearings.

The rod bearings are not tolerant to water.. however in your case, it is more important to figure out where your water is coming from before worrying about everything else...

Well actually I drained the oil and it was gooie. Drained the coolant and it was extreme gooie. The oil wasn't horrible like the coolant side. But I took off the oil cooler and coolant and oil came out but it was at separate times if that makes since. I flushed most the coolant I know it takes a while and I bought gallons of oil to run the system and get the goo out there.

If you guys thing I need to replace something else let me know. Thanks!
