Maybe it is just me, but trying to use a Series 60 Overhaul Kit on an 8V92 may be a bit challenging.  Just sayin'.  :D

Hi Bryce, we had one of the high pressure hoses collapse,  which could have caused back pressure to let engine oil push into the transmission. Also gaskets have been wrong flow pattern or both. The double radiator style was an option all the way back, even on the 12V71. Finding the proper gaskets wasn't easy. No real damage, other than the engine had to be pulled again. Maybe Clifford will reply with a more precise and knowledgeable answer, tom...

There is no room to disassemble the double/double cooler with the engine in the cradle on Tom's 102C3, it needs to be lifted up. With no head room in his engine compartment the engine had to come back out. With all the different applications the double/double is used for the amount of different gaskets available for it will make your head spin been there done that got the t-shirt and the hat ;D luckily Clifford had an extensive collection of those gaskets, ask me how I know this lol! ;D
