I thought my installation of an intercooler in my 83 244GL was going well until I got to the bottom bracket of the oil cooler. I did successfully get the top bracket off and the specially designed-for-intercooler use top bracket installed. The lower bracket on the cooler is then supposed to be removed and rotated 180 degrees, (see Angel Morales article on 240 intercooler installation: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/2204/int.htm) in order to provide the needed space for the new intercooler/radiator sandwich. Well, even after spraying, (more like RAINING), big quantities of P'Blaster on the lower bolts and threaded "barrels" of the cooler which hold the lower bracket on - I 'thought' I was getting the bolts to turn. Oh yes, they were turning all right, the apparently aluminum barrel-shaped "nuts" right along with them. I would like to reuse this cooler - but now am afraid that the thing may be ruined. Are these barrel-shaped captive nuts on the cooler made out of aluminum? I would say the bolts have badly seized to them. Ideas anybody?
Thanks, Grayrider in intercooler limbo land.
