Wrong oil cooler seal parts?
The kit I have for the oil cooler seals have a rounded o-ring (green) on the cooler pipes, yet the originals look flat and a bit wider (red) , filling in the groove in the pipe. Does my kit have the wrong ones or are these a newer style ? I am ready to reassemble as soon as I can determine. Thanks

No, I think there the correct ones. I just did mine, and had red seals in, and green ones in the kit. I think clarks garage said the new seal kis are green seals. They changed the seal colors in 1988.

Good deal. I thought the larger outer seal was green but it was black and the smaller ones green. Ok, I will go button her back up and hope for no leaks. I only did this as I had a small oil weep from the OPRV inner seal. Thanks

Make sure you oil the green "O" rings or they will "roll" when you install the oil cooler.
Do you have the correct shims in place?? http://www.944online.com/pdf/oilcoolertech.pdf GL John

Early or late car? I'm asking because the housing update/shims are necessary for the late cars but not the early ones (in my experience).
The red seal is larger and squared off because it's been compressed in position for 20-odd years, dried out, hardened and taken a set. The green ones are the updates.
