ofh and over boosting?

[waltz]

hey guys i just replaced my ofh with a brand new one from jnztuning yet, it is still leaking. is it possible that im boosting to much and pushing the oil out or something? my oil pressure is about 70 at 6300 rpm at around 16 psi. if that not it does anyone have an idea why it might be leaking again?

your boost has nothing to do with it...who installed the OFH ???

i didnt think it did. my friend who works at a dealership as a technician put it in from me

Where is it leaking from. ...? Need more details or it's just guessing in the dark time

Is it leaking from the oil cooler fitting? The fitting may possibly be damaged.

 

[MY1GDSM]

it's common for the sandwitch ones to Crush under pressure from just tightening the oil filter or torquing down the bolt the oil filter screws onto.... that's why I have 90 OFH. but so does he, so unless he swaped it out for a later year one I'm thinking it leaking from somewhere else unless I misunderstood what your saying

 

[knochgoon24]

Yeah, I'm talking about the actual lines to the external oil cooler. The fittings where those connect to the OFH may be leaking. Do those use crush washers?

Now if it's leaking between the OFH and the block, you have gasket problems. Or your block is some how damaged.

I've never had any problems with the lines leaking, That's why I assumed that you were talking about the 91-late oil coolers

Now if it's leaking between the OFH and the block, you have gasket problems.

That's why I asked who installed the OFH. ... if you don't get the surface perfect it going to be very easy for it to leak. Hopefully it's not the Front case its self thats leaking, which it problay more likely if he's already had the OFH replaced
