From an earlier post...
bbodie52 wrote:...The instructions below were extracted from the 1965 Corvair Chassis Shop Manual, page 6-19. In the first picture, you can see the oil cooler to the left of the oil filter.
The torque specifications for the ⅜-16 bolt that holds the oil cooler to the oil cooler mounting adapter is 8-12 ft. lbs. Remember that most bolts on the Corvair engine are threaded into soft aluminum. Bolts should be threaded in by hand to prevent cross-threading. The use of anti-seize compound on the bolt threads is recommended. Always try to use a ½-inch Drive Foot-Pound or a ⅜-inch Drive Inch-Pound torque wrench when tightening, to avoid over-tightening and possibly stripping the aluminum threads.
This video goes a bit beyond the job you need to do on the oil cooler, but the portion of the video that covers the oil cooler seals will help you to visualize the work needed. Just fast forward to the 22.00 minute part to skip past the harmonic balancer and focus in on the oil cooler part (unless you just enjoy watching and learning from Dave Motohead!)![]()

Re: oil cooler seals
Ya I know where to get them in the USA, but I am in Canada, $20 bucks to mail them to me is criminal!
I was hoping for a FelPro or equivalent part number I could get locally. that's all

There are CORSA (Corvair Society of America) club chapters in Canada, but like Canada, they are spread out over a wide area with lots of space in-between! I will list some CORSA contact information for western Canada here, should you be interested in getting involved with other Corvair owners in Canada.
Joining CORSA (Corvair Society of America) is another good way to learn more about Corvairs.
