hey guys today we're gonna be looking at
00:00:02.570 00:00:02.580 some old coolers here I have the early
00:00:05.090 00:00:05.100 and late housing and I'll be showing you
00:00:07.400 00:00:07.410 the differences between these I also
00:00:10.129 00:00:10.139 have the cooler itself in which I'll be
00:00:12.680 00:00:12.690 showing you how to shim and here we have
00:00:15.950 00:00:15.960 all the different OPR B's that were used
00:00:18.380 00:00:18.390 over the years and finally this is the
00:00:21.920 00:00:21.930 seal kit that I'll be using everything
00:00:24.590 00:00:24.600 that you're gonna see is gonna be
00:00:26.509 00:00:26.519 straight from the workshop manual so
00:00:29.150 00:00:29.160 let's get started
00:00:33.730 00:00:33.740 [Music]
00:00:41.510 00:00:41.520 so alright guys for the most part I'm
00:00:44.070 00:00:44.080 going to be reading straight from this
00:00:45.450 00:00:45.460 tech bulletin here the first thing it
00:00:47.580 00:00:47.590 discusses is the OPR V valves and has
00:00:50.640 00:00:50.650 the dates manufactured now if we start
00:00:53.460 00:00:53.470 reading below it it reads from the start
00:00:55.860 00:00:55.870 of production 1983 1944 cars came
00:00:59.010 00:00:59.020 equipped with a spring and piston oil
00:01:00.810 00:01:00.820 pressure relief valve which is this
00:01:03.120 00:01:03.130 right here and it says this was used in
00:01:07.650 00:01:07.660 all 944 and 940 four turbos up into the
00:01:11.850 00:01:11.860 end of 1986 production ok that says also
00:01:17.160 00:01:17.170 early 1987 924 SS used the system so now
00:01:23.070 00:01:23.080 we know that all cars up until 1986 used
00:01:27.270 00:01:27.280 this and including the 1987 924 s for a
00:01:31.950 00:01:31.960 certain period of time and in 1987
00:01:36.389 00:01:36.399 production of 944 944 SS 944 turbo a new
00:01:41.430 00:01:41.440 type of one-piece all pressure relief
00:01:43.469 00:01:43.479 valve was installed which is this one
00:01:46.919 00:01:46.929 here at assist at around the same time
00:01:54.389 00:01:54.399 that switched your tongue at around the
00:01:56.249 00:01:56.259 same time a new type of one-piece
00:01:57.990 00:01:58.000 pressure relief valve was introduced as
00:02:01.350 00:02:01.360 a retrofit which is this one here so
00:02:04.440 00:02:04.450 basically this one here replaced the
00:02:08.699 00:02:08.709 spring and piston it's all right on the
00:02:11.580 00:02:11.590 next page it's showing you how to
00:02:13.230 00:02:13.240 replace the o-ring and the sealing ring
00:02:15.960 00:02:15.970 these must be changed every time you
00:02:18.480 00:02:18.490 pull the OPR V out and here's a closer
00:02:22.920 00:02:22.930 look you can see that this one has an
00:02:25.199 00:02:25.209 old ring on it that I have not replaced
00:02:28.320 00:02:28.330 yet I actually had the seal here and I
00:02:31.260 00:02:31.270 have a light OPR v already taken apart
00:02:34.320 00:02:34.330 here
00:02:34.830 00:02:34.840 and you can see that there are actually
00:02:38.970 00:02:38.980 two sealing rings on there one goes on
00:02:41.250 00:02:41.260 one end there and the other one goes on
00:02:43.860 00:02:43.870 the
00:02:44.460 00:02:44.470 other end so I always try to replace
00:02:48.210 00:02:48.220 both of them and this is what it should
00:02:52.590 00:02:52.600 look like when you're gonna be neutering
00:02:55.130 00:02:55.140 so on this side of the page is showing
00:02:57.540 00:02:57.550 you that there is a steel sleeve or
00:02:59.700 00:02:59.710 collar in the early blocks that cannot
00:03:02.550 00:03:02.560 be removed and you must put it back in
00:03:05.100 00:03:05.110 with Loctite 648 or 638 so now where
00:03:09.090 00:03:09.100 you're getting into all the things that
00:03:11.130 00:03:11.140 are included in the kit and the
00:03:13.260 00:03:13.270 differences in the housing sorry guys I
00:03:15.750 00:03:15.760 got my gasket here and I've got my
00:03:17.850 00:03:17.860 packet of seals now as you can see there
00:03:20.460 00:03:20.470 are two metal shims and a plastic spacer
00:03:23.640 00:03:23.650 in there that means that this is for the
00:03:26.370 00:03:26.380 light housing only now it is important
00:03:29.730 00:03:29.740 to know the differences between the
00:03:31.350 00:03:31.360 early and late housings if you read this
00:03:34.260 00:03:34.270 paragraph here it says when repairing
00:03:36.240 00:03:36.250 the earlier cars the new type of housing
00:03:39.480 00:03:39.490 plastic washer and adjusting shims must
00:03:42.150 00:03:42.160 be used that means if you have an
00:03:44.970 00:03:44.980 earlier housing it cannot be used and
00:03:48.890 00:03:48.900 here it has a figure 8 is the early car
00:03:52.410 00:03:52.420 or original design and B is the new
00:03:54.930 00:03:54.940 design now if you don't know the
00:03:57.540 00:03:57.550 difference and you can't really see
00:03:59.759 00:03:59.769 anything from that anyway here is the
00:04:03.180 00:04:03.190 early housing you can see that there is
00:04:05.130 00:04:05.140 a lip there and if I put my caliper down
00:04:08.490 00:04:08.500 in there and see that it's raised up
00:04:15.080 00:04:15.090 about a millimeter or so and that is the
00:04:19.530 00:04:19.540 early housing and if you come over to
00:04:22.860 00:04:22.870 the light housing you can see that it's
00:04:24.690 00:04:24.700 completely flat there's nothing there
00:04:28.980 00:04:28.990 whatsoever
00:04:31.159 00:04:31.169 so you're supposed to replace the early
00:04:35.179 00:04:35.189 housings with the late housings and then
00:04:38.179 00:04:38.189 use the plastic spacer and the two shims
00:04:44.499 00:04:44.509 all right guys here is the contents of
00:04:47.209 00:04:47.219 that seal pack you can see that it comes
00:04:51.890 00:04:51.900 with a black rubber ring two metal shims
00:04:56.830 00:04:56.840 plastic spacer and the two oil cooler
00:05:00.649 00:05:00.659 rings now we're going to start putting
00:05:04.550 00:05:04.560 everything back together there are two
00:05:06.649 00:05:06.659 seals on either side of the oil cooler
00:05:08.990 00:05:09.000 and they will need to be replaced you
00:05:11.420 00:05:11.430 just need to get up underneath them with
00:05:13.429 00:05:13.439 a tool like this and they will come
00:05:16.209 00:05:16.219 right off
00:05:23.580 00:05:23.590 now you just take your new seals
00:05:42.970 00:05:42.980 alright guys in order to do this job
00:05:45.320 00:05:45.330 properly I'm not gonna be reusing this
00:05:47.780 00:05:47.790 early housing so I'm gonna go ahead and
00:05:51.110 00:05:51.120 set it out of the way the first thing
00:05:54.350 00:05:54.360 we're going to put in is this plastic
00:05:57.170 00:05:57.180 spacer now if you'll remember the little
00:06:01.280 00:06:01.290 lip that's inside the early housing is
00:06:05.150 00:06:05.160 about one millimeter and this here looks
00:06:09.320 00:06:09.330 to be about one point seven nine
00:06:12.020 00:06:12.030 millimeter so this little plastic spacer
00:06:14.810 00:06:14.820 is just barely taller than the lip in
00:06:20.629 00:06:20.639 the early housings but we're gonna take
00:06:24.590 00:06:24.600 that push it right on to the whole
00:06:29.570 00:06:29.580 cooler just like that and this is going
00:06:32.870 00:06:32.880 to be the side that's going to sit in
00:06:35.300 00:06:35.310 the housing like that now what you want
00:06:38.240 00:06:38.250 to do is you want to take a little bit
00:06:40.520 00:06:40.530 of oil and rub it around the seal here
00:06:45.520 00:06:45.530 to make sure that you don't have any
00:06:47.870 00:06:47.880 binding and this doesn't twist because
00:06:50.420 00:06:50.430 if it rolls or twists all right it just
00:06:59.450 00:06:59.460 popped in
00:07:01.370 00:07:01.380 and there we go so now that I have the
00:07:04.820 00:07:04.830 heat exchanger in the housing I'm going
00:07:06.650 00:07:06.660 to show you how to install the shims the
00:07:09.110 00:07:09.120 first thing you're gonna need is a
00:07:10.430 00:07:10.440 feeler gauge set to 0.25 millimeters and
00:07:15.310 00:07:15.320 a straightedge of any kind and what you
00:07:20.900 00:07:20.910 want to do is you don't want the gasket
00:07:22.970 00:07:22.980 on here or any shims on there yet you
00:07:25.730 00:07:25.740 just want to lay your straight edge
00:07:28.130 00:07:28.140 across the shoulder of that boss there
00:07:32.030 00:07:32.040 and if I can get this to focus and you
00:07:36.890 00:07:36.900 would see that perhaps there is a little
00:07:39.350 00:07:39.360 space between that there and I'm gonna
00:07:47.510 00:07:47.520 go ahead and put a shim on and that
00:07:52.820 00:07:52.830 needs to be perfect right there
00:07:54.770 00:07:54.780 now if it wasn't touching you'll want to
00:07:58.610 00:07:58.620 take your feeler gauge and see if you're
00:08:04.400 00:08:04.410 within the spec here now if I take the
00:08:09.050 00:08:09.060 shim off again you'll see that even
00:08:14.060 00:08:14.070 without any sort of
00:08:20.180 00:08:20.190 Sims I'm within range but I think one
00:08:26.690 00:08:26.700 sim makes it perfect now we can try to
00:08:32.420 00:08:32.430 shims but it looks like that side right
00:08:43.100 00:08:43.110 here is just barely not touching because
00:08:47.060 00:08:47.070 it's coming across the Sham too high so
00:08:50.060 00:08:50.070 I think we'll be good you can see
00:08:53.510 00:08:53.520 they're like I try and push it down and
00:08:55.220 00:08:55.230 it's not wanting that Topsham on there
00:08:57.890 00:08:57.900 so put that back perfect fit right there
00:09:03.380 00:09:03.390 just one sim works so that's what I'm
00:09:06.470 00:09:06.480 gonna go with on this cooler and then
00:09:09.260 00:09:09.270 you have your little black rubber ring
00:09:11.390 00:09:11.400 here and the best way to install this is
00:09:14.690 00:09:14.700 to take this and put some grease on it
00:09:18.530 00:09:18.540 and then put it on the block and when
00:09:22.880 00:09:22.890 you go to install your old cooler then
00:09:26.350 00:09:26.360 just see so yeah put some grease on this
00:09:32.350 00:09:32.360 and just like that and then leave your
00:09:41.030 00:09:41.040 bolts loose put your alignment tool in
00:09:46.160 00:09:46.170 and then tighten in your four bolts down
00:09:49.580 00:09:49.590 and then you can remove it and what I
00:09:52.430 00:09:52.440 always do is I always you have the right
00:10:01.340 00:10:01.350 alignment you will be able to put your
00:10:05.540 00:10:05.550 OPR be in even though the new seal
00:10:11.670 00:10:11.680 all the way so I just keep turning it by
00:10:18.810 00:10:18.820 hand put it in the block if it is
00:10:21.600 00:10:21.610 correctly aligned you will be able to
00:10:24.600 00:10:24.610 just keep turning this until it goes all
00:10:31.199 00:10:31.209 the way in and then you can lock it down
00:10:35.150 00:10:35.160 so alright guys that's gonna do it for
00:10:37.800 00:10:37.810 this episode I hope you guys enjoyed it
00:10:40.290 00:10:40.300 and I hope it helps you the next time
00:10:42.630 00:10:42.640 you go to install your old cooler
00:10:44.910 00:10:44.920 housing and I'm gonna wrap this video up
00:10:48.240 00:10:48.250 with some footage of the differences
00:10:50.730 00:10:50.740 between the blocks that you will find
00:10:53.250 00:10:53.260 between the early and late cars so until
00:10:56.250 00:10:56.260 next time guys so here we have an early
00:10:59.130 00:10:59.140 block and you can see the steel sleeve
00:11:01.470 00:11:01.480 that is referred to in the factory
00:11:03.180 00:11:03.190 workshop manual you will need a special
00:11:05.850 00:11:05.860 tool to align the housings on the early
00:11:09.600 00:11:09.610 blocks with this sleep and you can see
00:11:12.300 00:11:12.310 here how the early one-piece seals
00:11:16.590 00:11:16.600 against that sleeve and you can only use
00:11:20.600 00:11:20.610 either the early 3-piece or the early
00:11:25.769 00:11:25.779 one-piece with these blocks the later
00:11:28.860 00:11:28.870 Opie RV will not work because the
00:11:33.810 00:11:33.820 threads are longer and you end up just
00:11:36.920 00:11:36.930 bottoming out here before it even gets
00:11:39.360 00:11:39.370 threaded in and it's not gonna work
00:11:43.110 00:11:43.120 anyway because this piston isn't sealing
00:11:46.410 00:11:46.420 inside the sleeve as it should relieve
00:11:48.600 00:11:48.610 pressure so
00:11:50.210 00:11:50.220 it will not work and now we'll go on to
00:11:53.330 00:11:53.340 a later block and show you the
00:11:55.730 00:11:55.740 differences there so here you can see a
00:11:57.740 00:11:57.750 later block and it does not have a steel
00:12:00.530 00:12:00.540 sleeve the OPR V on the lighter cars
00:12:04.810 00:12:04.820 actually go in until the seal pops in
00:12:08.270 00:12:08.280 place and that's how it rests now if you
00:12:14.480 00:12:14.490 were to take an early OPR V and slide it
00:12:18.350 00:12:18.360 in there it's not gonna reach because
00:12:20.300 00:12:20.310 the steel sleeve comes out to about
00:12:22.580 00:12:22.590 right there
00:12:26.310 00:12:26.320 00:12:32.400 00:12:32.410
