I was actually able to get them from my local dealer when I changed from the basic adapter to the external oil cooler one.

any part numbers?

Can you measure the O-rings?

There on the block right now

All you need is a thickness and either an ID or OD measurement.

The next time you have it apart reference this.

Unfortunately not, my son-in-law picked them up for me and didn't give me the receipt. He just said, "don't worry about it".

             I checked around alittle, and did not find any part numbers or replacements for this model online. I think Curts idea may be best.

The O-rings should be the same for the 1988-early 1990 and late 1990-1997 oil cooler adapters. The early adapter (up to 1986 for certain) used 1 O-ring to the block and a gasket under the bolt head.

Just go to a joint that has an o-ring assortment and find one that fits in the groove.

I got a whole unit if I think about I get and see what size o ring but I think it carry the same oring as a oil filter for the block and the gasket under the bolt is the same as a oil plug in the oil pan I will look at the bolt and make sure they are not a o ring in the housing where it goes thro

The big o-ring is the same as the small fuel filter cap on a 6.0 diesel. The small o-ring I think there is a size that works in most a/c o-ring asortments. Any tech. that works on 6.0 diesels should have a few lying around

part # AS568-027 small O-ring
part # AS568A-145 big O-ring
Most places that sell O-rings should recognize  the part#

I have the one I took off my 86 when I added the oil cooler (external, not the built in leak). This is the style that uses one big O-ring and a gasket under the bolt head.

X2...O-rings are O-rings...they're either round or square and one material or another. I went to NAPA and bought a box of a couple hundred assorted ones.....

I have two of these adapters, and I was noticing how the oil is routed if you take the plugs out. It appears that the oil by-passes the filter if you hook up a cooler to the adapter. Am I looking at this correctly? Could it bypass the filter completely?

I believe it goes, oil pump, out through adapter, cooler, back into adapter, through filter, from there into the block.

..



The way it looks is when it comes from the pump to the adapter, it can go to the filter or the cooler. When it comes out of the filter it can goto the motor or the cooler. How is it going to move oil thru the cooler in the configuration? How do most of you guys run an external oil cooler?

You must be missing a relief or bypass valve. Mine has a bypass valve that will bypass the cooler if it is blocked or too restricted. Even the infamous water to oil cooler has one. I am not going to try to take mine off for pictures unless I need it off for another reason.

I have one 90* deal and one for the line hookup for remote filter. I don't plan on using either if somebody needs it. Maybe il take a pic and post them up.

Here is the one I have. I tried to take the picture close enough to see the part number. It available if anyone needs it.
