ENGINE OIL LEAK/COOLER LINE REPLACE INLET PIPE

Some 1984 Corvettes equipped with engine oil coolers may experience an oil leak from the inlet pipe to cooler assembly joint area. This may be due to threads which were not tapped deep enough at the source. Overtightening the fitting may not repair the condition and may damage the cooler assembly. The inlet pipe has been revised and should be replaced with new P/N 14084035. Torque end fittings to 41 to 47 N.m (30 to 35 ft. lbs.).

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
