Headgasket trouble? 900 1997

Dear Metallo,

The oil cooler setup looks simple enough not to suspect anything could gone terribly wrong. Just a square gasket and a big hollow bolt to mount the cooler to its engine adaptor.

I suggest unscrewing the MANN filter out and use a deep socket or wrench to tighten MORE the cooler's big hollow bolt (size 27mm IIRC)

Then reuse the MANN filter (yes the filter still new, its O ring would still seal).

Start engine and recheck. Just a short run.

If the above still leaks then you might have to dismantle all out to inspect the sealing surfaces.

Amarin.
