  • Cracked oil cooler

    Evening everyone, the jobs on these old motors are never finished are they, after my short run in the Marlin over the weekend I parked it in the garage and left it alone until today, I noticed a puddle of engine oil on the floor, after checking out the cause ( Thought it was a loose fitting) I noticed that it was dripping from the top of the oil cooler, I removed the oil cooler only to find it had cracked next to the 1/2 BSP fitting, so that was that, off it came, it's resting very near the bin ! I then refitted the shorter of the two pipes between the oil filter and engine. I then fitted the last bit of carpet, then jacked up the car, put it on stands and under sealed the new floor panels etc. I've still got the speedo and cable to sort out, but it looks like the dashboard will need to be removed so I can remove the Marina pod, or fettle the cable to suit the MGB box and Marina speedo - watch this space !
