Oil cooler rebuild

superduty4x4 · Mar 11, 2013

I ordered up a used oil cooler from another member to replace mine since the bypass valve in mine has gone missing. My question is, are the gaskets between the oil cooler and the block one time use or can they be re-used? Considering the mess involved in pulling the oil cooler it's probably not worth it to try and re-use the gaskets but I thought I'd ask.

They are a reusable gasket, but like you said the PITA the job is I would go ahead and get new ones.

If you buy the rebuild kit from Guzzle, it comes with the o-rings and the gaskets.

That's what I was looking at, just a bit shocked at the price.

I bought new o-rings from the dealership for right around $70, it's kinda pricey for what you get, but I'd put new 1's in rather than risk having to pull it all back apart right away
