I replaced my oil cooler seals a few weeks ago while I had the head and header off. Kinda a pita even with those things out of the way. Besides some big wrenches for the oil lines and sender, I think the only other special tool is the relief valve alignment tool.

Greg, that oil will ruin your sway and control arm bushings in short order.

Oil cooler seals can't be done with the headers on. Can't really be done with them disconnected either. What a PITFA! :XX I have always thoought of covering that bushing with a piece of tin foil or similar to keep the oil off. Sure it's ghetto, but it will protect the bushing won't it?
