did anyone ever tried to take the oil cooler out with the intake mainfold still bolted? i'm talking about dual port engine with doghouse style cooler

it's just looks like the left tinware will prevent accese to the 13mm nuts?

is it possible?

thanx

I don't think you will be able to do it.

That's my bet :thumb

Why would you bother ! Pull the motor out 😀 unless you're a gynaecologist and you need the practice!:o

you could remove the cooler and leave the base mount if you need to replace the cooler only! three nuts at the back of the cooler.
