If you have the air oil cooler, I personaly would put that on your car rather then swapping to the less efficent water-cooler.
Other then that the only gasket you need is the one between the housing and the oil pump (front cover)

Thanks for the reply.
is there a good after market cooler that might fit good?
the one im using is from the galant vr4, and its pretty big, be a pain to fit it into the front of the 92. what do you think?


is it possible to trim the hoses down on my cooler i have now? and tuck it into place?

or can i whack off the metal pipes about where tehy come out. and attache rubber hoses to make fittment easier?

Id check around for a used one off a talon or so, Im sure that some one here has done a swap and has one lying around. Put a post up.

i dunno, i think it would be easier to just trim the hoses to fit

Yeah but then you taking a chance of blowing of the clamps and toasting an engine. But i'm sure that it's been done.

The '91-up oil-water cooler is just about worthless. Stick to the air-oil.
