[SuperXRAY]

Ok...been like 8 months since I started this job. We've moved...trailered the car to the new place and lost the sunroof in the process!!!

Anyways, I'm back at it, but I have a few questions:

1. Why is the OPRV on this car a one piece design? It's just a chunk of steel with a spring the goes into the block. There is an alignment/wear sleeve in the block where the OPRV rides sticking out...I assume to align the cooler housing, so I can't use an alignment tool.

2. The shims that we bought to shim the oil cooler against the housing are too small of an I.D. to use on the cooler. I have to shim it nearly 1mm towards the block, so I have to pick up bigger shims from a local machine shop here. Is this just one of the original 944 housings/coolers? I noticed in the shop manual it says to replace with an updated housing, but nothing about the cooler itself. The seals were definitely shot, so I'm glad I'm doing this now.
