I see nothing I hear nothing
So one of the oil cooler lines on my 1990 5.7 has started leaking. My plan is to just remove the lines and plug the holes in the adapter.
Would I be correct that the oil cooler is just a passive bypass? As in what ever happens to go through the cooler gets cooled? If that is so then just plugging the holes in the adapter will have no consequence?? I never pull anything and the engine will be getting swapped out very soon anyway. I do in the meantime need the truck and don't want to chance blowing a hose in the middle of nowhere. I haven't paid attention but I'm thinking the fittings in the adapter are 3/8" NPT. Is this correct?
Thanks for the input!
