    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Lockhart Oil Cooler Adapter Gasket

I was looking for the exact same U cup seal a few years back for the cooler take off. The late Eric Bang sent me this photo of the U seal which is a direct replacement.
I thinks someone posted a link to the exact same seal in an earlier post, in which case it will fit and work (according to Eric!)

I just ordered the 870-04 and 870-05. The 04 seems to be a little closer to the measurements of the tube, but I read that the 05 works. I should have them later this week and I'll try both and post what I find. The material they are made from should handle the heat, oil and pressure.
 
Make sure the seal crushes down over the oil port in the engine. If there is any gap oil will bypass the cooler.
 
Soooo. Got the U-seals today, both the 04 and 05.
The 04 is an exact fit but isn't wide enough, so the 870-05 is the correct seal.
Threw one in boiling water and it handled it.
I have 3 extra 870-05 u-seals that I'm willing to sell for $6 each, that includes shipping. (Had to place a minimum order and flat $7.95 shipping)

Here's a picture of the 870-05 on the housing. Squishes down tight into the neck in the crankcase.

I'll take one, PM me your info. Thanks for doing this and keeping us informed.
 

Got a pair of them today, and it fits like a glove.
However, while the price of the individual seal isn't cheap, it's hardly worthwhile buying just the one, as the postage cost is unreasonable to Ireland. I bit the bullet and bought two, so spreading the cost a bit. I might never use the second one, but if I ever need it, it's there.

Beats me why companies stick to this stupid, moronic policy of charging through the nose for small item handling, as all it does is make sure I won't go back to them for bigger stuff in the future.

If they are still available I need one.
