Implementation of bolt spacers to the oil cooler hardware Implementation of bolt spacers to the oil cooler hardware. (LC80008),(ISV 5.0L) March 28, 2017 (for back in Dec 11, 2015)
Project Scope Change Summary: addition of spacers to the oil cooler mounting hardware. Background: Oil coolers have shown bolt load loss under certain extreme conditions. The increased grip length of longer spacers makes it more robust to these conditions. Implementation Strategy and Date: Implement as soon as the engine plant can make the change. (Likely already happened by now)
Change Summary (Using Graphics) Current design has short cap screws: New design has spacers: Flange thickness same (6 ± 0.5 mm) New Grip Length: 34 mm Min. thread engagement = 15.2 mm
Overlay of New option(xx) & Old option(xx) No change in option number
Overlay Integration on Engine Existing harness can clip to both without too much stretch.
