32gtr Oil In Coolent

[WHT11]

Has anyone ever experienced engine oil in the cooling system? before you say the head gasket i have no watter in the engine oil, it is still clean and engine is running well

I was thinking that it could have somthing to do with the Oil cooler as it is water cooled? If any one else with a 32 GTR has had a similar problem let me know what it was?

Could it possibly be the heat exchanger?

I had a similar problem in a commodore a few years back. The head was corroded between a water gallery and oil gallery.

Since the cooling system runs at 13psi max, and oil pressure is more like 40 psi, the radiator fills with oil, but the engine still runs good with no water in the oil.

So I'm saying head problem...

:werd: there are a number of different ways a head gasket can leak between oil galleries, coolant, cylinder and even external leaks

You have a water cooled oil cooler? is that an Aus delivered GTR thing? if not what brand does it?

[Godzilla32]

Noramlly its just a little heat sink sandwiched between the filter and block right?

[Duncan]

Yeah a little cylinder behind the oil filter all GTRs had them.

[JH32]

if you had an after market oil cooler and relocator, would you leave the factory heat sink there or remove it?

[Duncan]

you leave it there and just add a sandwich plate to fit the cooler lines. The standard cooler is 1 piece with the oil filter mount, the pressure sender mount and the temp sensor mount

i'm pulling off the oil cooler next week and i'm going to have it pressure tested if it comes back good i'll pull the head off. i was told that it is easier to pull the motor then just the head has anyone had experience with removing the head inside the engine bay?

[BigMicky]

before you pull anything apart, you can pressure test the whole cooling system. Any radiator shop can do this. You just pump 15-20psi into the radiator and see if it leaks.
