I unthinkingly started to unscrew the shifting linkage on top of the valve cover before removing the valve cover for adjustments. (1st time on OM617 engine) I quickly realized my folly but too late. All is back together but shifting is quite out of whack! How do you properly adjust that? I have tried to return it to where the "dirty" part of the linkage meets the connection. That made it work better, but initial startup from a stop is painfully SLOW! TIA for all your helpful responses!

Broken oil pump drive chain..Can it be replaced without complete pull of the engine? DieselfanDon

Hi Kent,

I have a slow and annoying oil drip originating at the base of my oil cooler. I suspect the hose connector(s) and/or oil cooler thread fittings.

I've been searching for a replacement cooler and hoses, but everything I've found (including items in your store) show an oil cooler with connections at the top and bottom.

For some reason, the existing hoses and cooler in my car have both input and output connections at the bottom of the oil cooler.
