I dont know what the problem is but i cant get this thing to work, i know its the right o-ring bought and part# verified from honda. if anyone is firmiliar with the h22 oil cooler, im trying to get the O-ring between the oil cooler and the block to work, the o-ring is to big for one groove in the cooler and too small for the other, it wants to sit right on that little sharp bump, if it sits there how do you keep it there while you put it on?, i even cosidered if the cooler was on backwards, does the smooth side go in?? i figured the smooth side was for the filter. Please help, this is driving me nuts, thanks

 

lol, yea choke yourself dude...haha that gave me a laugh

firstly, the smooth side mates to the block

my best advice is to just sit it in the groove (oil it first), and then try to push it onto the block as quick as you can, just dont let it fall out

common problem though, its a bitch for some, to others its simple, personally, i didnt have any problems with it, but who knows.....

 

so the smooth side goes toward the block? so that means the the side with the grooves goes out and the oil filter gasket rides on the little bump that the o-ring wanted to ride on?

 

just make it so that the coolant pipes face that way....

 

ok i got it, thanks!

 

wheel bearing grease holds o-rings in place all day long.
