I found a Flex a Lite kit with the sandwich, cooler, and all the rest of the hardware for $110 new. If I ever get this engine actually in I think I'm going to invest in it. Its also temperature controlled, I called Flex a Lite and asked. This is the third engine for this GL-10, and for some reason it has been cursed with every tiny problem... Onward to successful internal combustion I hope. DasWaff

Hey all, I'm putting my 'new' engine in my 86 GL-10 Turbo. I was replacing the rear main seal and in setting the new seal I accidentally tapped it in deeper, by about 3mm, than the old one. Is this going to bite me in the rump roast if I leave it? Now is definitely the time if I need to do it again. Thanks, DasWaff

will do, thanks

I have been following serveral threads and readiing some older ones which involve oil coolers. Does anyone have a specific oil cooler to reccomend that is EA82 compatable, obtainable, and a relatively easy install?? An advanced search of the forums yielded less than ideal results... This seems to me to be a sane and wise modification, are there any draw backs that I'm missing?? Thanks in advance for your help. DasWaff

I was thinking... (or not...) Seems to me, changing the difference in temperature of the coolant, with lower theromstats, bigger fans, etc. Is less important than the total volume of coolant flow. Coolant at too low a temp entering the heads only makes the thin walled problems worse. Since hotter coolant carries away less waste heat per unit we need lots more units. So what options are there for upping the flow through the heads? Maybe polishing some of the water channels? Better hoses? Water pump changes? Just brainstorming here, DasWaff
