Sure

 

[viperfitness1]

Sure

does this look like normal corrosion? it looks like some corrosion on the down tubes that house the oil? anything to be concerned about??

 

[Perlmudder]

ouch =(

 

[MOBILEMERCMAN]

I can't really say. Different areas have different mineral contents. You should be able to pressure check them or have them checked at an old school radiator shop. There are supposed to be anodes in that housing to protect against corrosion. Coolers are $455 on Bam site.

You can find it on the flywheel housing page

$455, to be sure instead of guessing, on a $20k+ engine seems like good insurance
