Tiara Open Aftercooler Maintenance
#3
Mr Clark, i took a piece of angle bracket (2"x2"x1/8") and drilled 4 holes into it , two to bolt the cooler onto and two for clearance for the dowel pins . Then welded a bracket that will swivel with a 2" hole so we can pass a 58" long pipe through it in the middle of the angle bracket . Then placed a 2x4 on top on the valve covers with a blanket underneath . Pass the pipe through the hole with one guy on the pipe for leverage standing between the engines and the second guy to guide the cooler out and roll it down the 2x4 towards the turbo then lift it out . Also put a bolt through the pipe in the end of it after you pass it through the swivel so the angel bracket can't slide off with the cooler attached . It's still a little bit of a struggle , but at least you have the leverage of the pipe . If you think this will help you the next time i can txt you some picture of what i have .
Thanks for the reply and glad i don't have to do this every season .
Captain
