Is this a pita, how long did it take u to complete the repair ?
Any tips not in clarks. I need to replace motor mounts, struts, and fix an oil cooler leak. Would it be easier/better access if all were done at the same time ?
thanks

The oil cooler seals don't have much in common with the other two procedures.

Basically, you're stuck in a tight spot, so be patient, and work slowly.

If you need to jack up the engine to replace the engine mounts, this would allow you to take the exhaust header off the studs and give you a little more room to work. I'm told it's possible (and about to try) to get the oil cooler housing off without taking the header off.
