hello guys.
continued with my project this weekend.
unlike last week, i woke up to an 80 degrees morning, with 90% humidity
not the perfect conditions to work in the garage, but definitely beats 30
started the day trading my neighbor storage room, for a break job on his 50 cc Yamaha scooter. toke me 10 minutes (let me know if someone needs the DIY
).
stored all the parts i previously removed from the car, and got back to the real deal.
started with removing the throttle body and plenum in order to gain access to the oil cooler.
the oil cooler is pretty easy to remove. just needed to disconnect the thin coolant hose on the top, and remove the 4 Allen screws that holds it in place.
once the bolts were out, i lifted it quick and removed it from the car. tried to do my best not to mix oil with coolant.
decided to leave the TB and plenum out of the car.
by the look of it, it will make my life easier when working on the AOS.
cleaned the surface carefully, and removed the old O-rings using this tool.
here in the picture you can see the tool with the old O-rings removed.
and here the old next to the new. the small ones are for the oil passages, and the large one for the coolant.
the new oil O-rings are green in color, so i guess they ware upgraded in some point (?).
put the new O-rings on (coated with a bit of oil) cleaned the cooler, and put it back on the engine.
