Been a while.....

Been a while since I've had a chance to check things out. Seems like a problem would bring me back. Quick question, had some oil film in cooling water discharge, went and replaced the engine oil cooler. Looking for the torque specs on the bolt that holds the oil cooler to the bock which, any help would be much apreciated! Thaks in advance!

Which model ?

Yep, sorry, 2004 F140, actually found my service file and got it. This entire deal started with a slight oil residue on my cooling water discharge, obviously I went for the engine cooler. Drained and replaced engine and gear oil, all looked fine. Ran on muffs and collected cooling water, still have some type or oil or fuel in the cooling water discharge. I'm thinking bad gasket somewhere or I see there is a fuel cooler....any thoughts woukd be appreciated.

Anybody have the fuel cooler fail? It appears to be fuel in the waterm but I have found nothing in regards to these failing.

I've searched the forum a bit and found issues with oil cooler corrosion, but seems that if anything it was coupled with water in the oil, not the other way around. Though it seems to me that there are higher pressures in the lubrication system than in the cooling system. So you might want to go ahead and check for any corrosion around the o-rings and such on the oil cooler.

Oil Residue

Is that slick from the Pee outlet or from the prop, If Its from the Prop then Its possible that UN burnt fuel or oil may be blown out the exhaust, I would check the compression

Oil cooler has been replaced, still have oil sheen. The water collected from the pHole has an oil shean to it still. Residual? I don't know. Thinking I need to put it in the water and run it and see what happens, monitor oil levels, etc. I am going to do a compression check just to confirm but I imagine if it was something at thay level it would also be putting water in the oil, which it's not. Other option is oil seals under the water pump in the LU? Would cause oil to sneak through seals into wayer pump and through cooling.
