Most of the times, a plate cooler gasket can be very dangerous to deal with if someone is not as experienced and if the machine they are handling is way too big for them to even consider touching. Plate cooler gaskets depend largely on the size of the machine; for huger machines, they are much bigger and only experienced people who work in teams can try and change them u if they leak or malfunction in any way. However, smaller plate cooler gaskets, like those installed in the vehicles, can be easily changed by normal people after a once over. Read on to know how this can be done.
Directions
First of all, one will have to lift the car and take off the engine cover to access the parts inside of it. After this, one needs to look for the plate gasket. Once they have looked for their target, they need to be able to drain out the engine oil. This is quite a common thing to do and thus, it has not been described in detail. Afterwards, one has to open up the manual of the vehicle to look for the coolant and then drain it out. When the oil filter starts to give out, put a muck bucket underneath it to catch the spillage. There are two lines in place one for coolant and the other for the filter and they are both connected together. Remove these two lines in order to move on. Be careful not to touch the exhaust fields or the hand will burn so, remove the oil cooler parts first, if possible.
Moving on, use a deep well oil socket in order to remove the oil connector but make sure that the oil cooler does not fall out since the connector also holds the oil cooler as well. Remove the oil plate gasket and make sure that everything is cleaned up properly and carefully before changing the appliances up. Use brake part cleaners and shop towels to do that otherwise the hands will get all smeary and dirty, messing up everything else. Get rid of all types of dust, grits, dirt and smears since new parts are supposed to be installed in very soon.
When the old parts have been cleaned, it is not time to put in the new plate cooler gasket. One must ensure that the new one bought is clean and free of all kinds of leakages and problems. Consult the manual to get to know more.
Now, before delving any further, start by swearing a bit of oil on the plate gasket to make sure that when it is put into the vehicle, it sails smoothly and fits in perfectly with the rest of the machine. It may expand a bit but that will not be a problem once the vehicle is up and running properly. Once it is placed safely in, start the engine again and get the car a bit warm. Now, put back everything that was taken apart earlier. The two lines connecting the oil cooler and the oil filter need to be reconnected and start screwing everything into place by hand. Then, it is time to connect the oil and coolant and to do that, make sure that the two lines are still a bit loose. After everything has been properly installed, start the car and drive away. Drive slowly for a bit before stepping on the race.
Manual
The user manual for the plate cooler gasket is, like always, the most helpful guides that readers will get from anyone. Many people just ignore the manuals and choose to do everything by themselves. This is a bad idea since it takes longer and the chances of error are greater.
